I’ve been working through a funk during which nothing seems to sparkle. I have felt dull and bored, maybe worse than bored…boring. Yet during this time, one thing that always stirs me inside are YouTube videos of estate clean-outs, maybe the discovery of abandoned houses - it’s for the reasons you reference here. The items which never had a chance to be sorted and tidied hold the energy of secret stories hiding in plain sight. They thrill me with the electricity of curiosity; they tap me back into childhood zeal when every discovery prompted another question.

Yes, I find it hard to let go of items associated w/ memories, but I can and have done it. In the end, it's a freeing experience. At least it was for me.
