Okay, so I got rid of almost everything. I'm being a little dramatic about it — but genuinely, I went through my closet and just tossed anything I hadn't worn in six months. Like, I'm serious. Every drawer, every shelf, every random pile on my floor.

It started because my apartment was getting, like, out of control. I couldn't even see my desk. I couldn't find my favorite shirt because it was buried under three other shirts I don't even like. And one morning I just — I don't know — I snapped. I woke up and thought, "I can't live like this anymore."

So I went through every single drawer and it was kind of therapeutic, honestly. I made three piles: keep, donate, sell. And the "keep" pile got smaller and smaller as I went. Turns out I was holding on to so much stuff just because I spent money on it once.

I ended up donating most of it because, like, someone else will actually use it. Some of the designer pieces I sold on Depop. And honestly, I gave away so many clothes to my friends — the ones they'd always compliment me on. It felt good, like spreading the love or whatever.

Here's the thing though: for a while I was completely obsessed with this idea of living with less. I watched every minimalism documentary. I read books. I downloaded apps to track my stuff. Which is ironic, right? Being obsessed with minimalism is kind of the opposite of minimalism.

But after all of that, the real lesson was simpler. There's no reason to hold on to clothes you don't even like anymore. That's it. That's the whole video. We keep things because "maybe one day I'll wear it." And that day never comes. It just doesn't.

So yeah — I got rid of it. All of it. Well, almost all of it. I kept my favorite sweatshirt because obviously. And I feel lighter. Not in a, like, life-changing spiritual way. Just in a — my closet closes now kind of way. Which honestly? Is enough for me.
