Hi everyone! I decided to go into my drawers and closet and clear out old clothes I don’t wear anymore. I am the person who wears the same four t-shirts and same 3 pairs of pants (that aren’t workout clothes.) So you can imagine how much clothes I have that I don’t wear or even remember existed. I call it my Fall cleaning project. I started cleaning out my drawers and pulled a lot of t-shirts. I made two piles: keep and donate. It was a lot harder than I thought to put clothes into the donate pile. I have come to learn that I am a hoarder of clothes. Some clothes have sentimental value, some I just never had the chance to wear. I told myself it didn’t matter what my reasoning was to keep them, there are others in need who could use these clothes. Currently, I am still working on my drawers but as soon as I finish I will move onto my closet. I work on it little by little each day. My goal is to finish clearing out my old clothes and donate them to Goodwill by Saturday. I’ve said for the past few years I wanted to donate old clothes but never did it. This year is different. I want to do something to help my community. This task may be a bit difficult but I am glad I am doing it.
Have you ever donated old clothes? If so, how did it make you feel? Let me know in the comments!

Earlier today, I was mindlessly scrolling through Facebook and I came across a picture. It made me laugh because this picture is so me! The plans I had a few years ago are entirely different from the plans I have now, and honestly, I don’t even know if these plans will pan out. In the past few years, I’ve learned that adulting is hard, and even if things are going in the right direction we will hit barriers. I’m learning to accept that these barriers come and I can overcome them, but negative thinking comes so much easier to me because it is what I’ve always done. Like they say, old habits die hard and changing my automatic thoughts are a real struggle. It’s getting easier the more I practice. I am starting to believe that everything happens for a reason and I will get to where I am going, I just need to keep moving forward. Seeing this picture made me think. It made me think about where I am headed. What I want for my life. This is a recurring theme of my blog so bear with me. I am seriously doing everything I have written about in the past for a purpose. I am taking my mental health seriously and doing whatever possible to achieve my dreams and be happy. In the meantime, I will continue to store plastic bags inside of another plastic bag and use my favorite spatula.
Happy Labor Day! XOXO, Drea |
