And That's Okay! You Finally Cleared Out That One Closet - and Found Pieces of Your Old Self

You know that one spot in your house you keep avoiding?
It might be a closet, a box in the basement, or a shelf in the garage — the one that’s just… there. You walk past it all the time, thinking, “I should really get to that,” but somehow, you never do.

And That’s Okay!

We’ve all got one. Life moves fast, and those little corners end up holding pieces of our past we don’t quite know what to do with.

But then one day — maybe when you’re searching for something, or maybe when you just finally decide to deal with it — you open it. You start sorting through old things, and suddenly you’re not just cleaning. You’re remembering.

You find something small — a photo, a note, a piece of clothing — and for a second, you pause. Because in your hands isn’t just an object. It’s a snapshot of who you were back then.

And it hits you — that version of you still matters. She might’ve been younger, more uncertain, maybe even a little lost… but she was also brave. Hopeful. Figuring it out the best she could.

And you can feel that connection — not in a sad way, but in a quiet, grounding way. Like, “Oh yeah… she’s still in there.”

Today, we’re talking about what happens when you finally clean out that one space and find pieces of your old self waiting there…And That’s Okay!
