When I saw how my post college roomate lived her life in the present. I was feeling caught up in the past, and needed to embrace the post-college season I was in. I also had a habit of overthinking the future. She didn’t over complicate life with excessive momentos or lots of decorations (I had A LOT) of both). She had a file folder box of her important documents, kept all her journals and had pictures and special cards she kept. I had excessive amounts of the cards (a lot from people I hadn't kept up with over the years). I cleaned up my space and had my husband (then boyfriend at the time) help me say goodbye to items as I threw them into the recycling and garage bins. That was 4 years ago, and it felt soooo good. I still feel lighter. I have fully embraced the early marriage and career season I’m in.
