This is something we should all do from time to time;)

We accumulate things, friends/contacts, emotions, habits.

Sometimes we don't even realise how overflowing , crowded and limited our spaces, mind, emotions and time get as a result.

Just like a good spring clean , when you unpack those cupboards and get rid of junk and things in drawers you have not worn or used in a long time, the same should be done with the rest of your life.

Let go of people, things, habits, thoughts , emotions that don't add value to your life.

Taking stock of where you are in life, where you came from and where you are heading and editing out people, things, habits and emotions don't support or value you, should be done often.

Editing your life should not mean to just cut out or throw out. Just taking stock and rearranging how you allow people, things, emotions and how they fit into your life is often enough to make positive changes as to how you deal with it.

Be a better version by keeping your edits real and embracing changes as a result.

Thank you Miss Red for the word its like you knew my situation

They do say "too many cooks spoil the broth"...meaning in this context,that asking for approval, editing oneself to the likes of others all in the hope of fitting in, and thus, losing sight of what defines one ...a clutter of societal expectations prescribing one to add, add and add crap in ones life.

And then confusing the fickleness of acquaintances to that of true friendship which usually is few and knows to be lasting.

I like decluttering and simplicity and moral integrity toward self and others no matter place or time.

So yes. I like checking in on myself when it feels i may be influenced by the muchness of crap read , shared and experienced.


Never been scared to be minimalistic yet, very kind toward self and liking of what defines me.

:))

Love ur post.

RB.

@ black panther... I am very happy if this post helped you in any small way..

My edit journey had literally saved my life many many years ago, I believe.

Don't be afraid to edit those things that do not make you feel valued, happy or secure.

@ RB.. thanks for that.
When we shall have a chance to meet I do not know, but I have not forgotten my promise of a coffee or lunch shared. Xxx

Thanks beautiful @Miss Red,

I am definitely busy doing this, it's a slow process for me lol not just because of the recent breakup which makes me hold on to stuff, but also I tend to be a hoarder when "spring cleaning" my life.

Lol with other stuff in the home. I easily just toss out stuff that's not needed and give to the less fortunate

"A Friend of mine is a friend for life."

Do undestand that one needs to change, and get rid of unnessacry "baggage", but to get rid of your "friends", that part I will skip

Well written, sometimes one has to take stock and let go of things and people that weigh one down.

It is often harder to let people go but some need to go - even 'friends' for real friends are not a burden but wind beneath your wings....

Well said!
