I’m naturally a ‘chucker’, but I live with a ‘collector’, which is a challenge for both. Lately I’ve really felt the need to declutter and discard. It’s partly because we’ve accumulated stuff we don’t need or use, and partly because I’m looking to control something in life when I’m overwhelmed by a lot of things that I can’t control or struggle to control.

I’ve started going through a drawer here, a cupboard there, and it feels so good to clean and get rid of unneeded things, so I’m going to keep going!

I have to show a little restraint though because my otherhalf mourns the loss of any material thing whether it was useful or not… but only if he notices it missing :)
