Then I reached my closet. Mounds of clothes I haven’t worn in a while, bought for reasons I can’t remember or have because they were used as part of a costume for a night out or my theatre group. After doing a spring clean last year of my closet I have been trying to be good in buying stuff only if I really need them (like work clothes or necessary costume pieces). Then it hit me. I have a bunch of clothing I haven’t worn in a while. Mainly clothes I have for when I was involved in the metal /goth/steam punk scene. I am still involved in ways with those scenes but I don’t get dressed up like I used to. I usually now go see bands play wearing jeans and a t-shirt. I want to be comfortable.
So my question is why am I holding onto these things. Why do I have a dress from 2006 that I have only worn once or twice in the past 7 years. Why do I have a skirt I know doesn’t fit me anymore but is black and lacey.
These are the questions that I have been asking myself. Am I holding onto these
things for a reason/purpose. Do I think that I will need them as soon as I get rid of them.
Should I sell them and make some $$ and make someone else happy in wearing them.
Same with costume pieces. I noticed I few I bought thinking I would use them someday but they have been sitting in my closet for years now.
So these are some of the things I will need to think about and soon. Should I get
rid of these items and make some cash to pay off debts or keep them on the
possibility ill use them in a show or night out. If they don’t fit or I haven’t worn
them in a while I should really consider selling them.
Some of those pieces I could get some really good money for and help pay
off the credit card debt.
Decision decisions… do I make some money and get rid of my past
or I am just holding onto the past.
Oh they joys of adulthood…
