Not your literal closet, (even though that one might need some organizing too!) I'm talking about your emotional and mental closet. That area of the brain (and heart) where you hold every word that was said, wrong that was done, and painful memory you can remember. It's time to pack it up, donate to goodwill and fill our closets with bigger and better things.
So often we allow our past to consume us, and rarely do we harp on positive memories. Every negative thought that you hold on to only takes up space that could be filled with good ones. And I hate to say it, but we girls are the worst with this. You know its true: you still have every love letter, picture, and souvenir even though all they remind you of are heartbreak and disappointment. It's time to let all of this go and move on, once and for all!
Make a list of everything, and don't be afraid to get personal, this is very personal. Write down everything you know you need to let go of: people, places, memories, regrets. Make a pact with yourself that you are going to leave these things in the past once and for all. Throw out his old jacket and the love letter he wrote you in 10th grade. Stop replaying the night she stood you up or talked about you behind your back. Leave it all behind. Tear up the list, burn it if you have to. Do whatever it takes for you to grasp the concept of moving on. Then make a new list. A list of all the great, positive things you want to do with your life. Your goals, ambitions, aspirations, and deepest desires. Live out the new list, make new memories, and enjoy the benefits of a clean closet: you can find everything, even yourself.
Live Positive.
