I have always struggled with emotional attachment to inanimate objects for as long as I can remember. I am aware that this isn’t uncommon when dealing with autism, but it has lead me to hold on to things far past when I (arguably) should’ve let them go. Clothes were always my biggest one. I’d remember what I did when I was wearing them, where I was when I got them, etc. and I just couldn’t bring myself to let them go.
NOT ANYMORE!!!!!
After sitting on enough clothes for probably 4-5 individual people, never wearing anything except a handful of items and having gone up in size, I threw away (what couldn’t be salvaged) and donated approximately 80% of all of my clothes! Out of the 20% that remained, 10 percent went into a single tote as items I couldn’t let go of for emotional purposes but I don’t wear, and the other 10% is all I have in my daily rotation now.
It’s the best thing ever.
Everything matches everything else.
Everything fits and is comfortable.
I never have to guess what I’m going to wear or how I’ll feel about it an hour after putting it on.
10/10 would recommend to all of you to comb through what you wear and maybe change things - it has helped my executive function so much by never having to think about what I’ll wear, and practically never having too much dirty laundry.

Hi! I’m Flower 🌸 I have terrible insomnia and it keeps me out of the daylight most of the time 😅 I’ve definitely been missing out on connection and would love to hear from you if you too suffer with insomnia and just want a real person to talk to at 4am - or are in another time zone opposite to mine as that’s when I’m usually the most awake.

I am an open book with plenty of great stories and a great listener too - feel free to comment or message me if you’re interested in building a connection. Thanks for reading!
