I will often ask a friend or my partner to make the decision for me based on the facts of the situation, be sad about it for a bit. And then eventually it feels easier to let it go. I have the same issues with clothes.

But also! Maybe it’s a sign that there’s new beginnings in a way🫶🏼

I should ask the same question bc I’m the same way🥲

something that’s worked for me is repurposing the item I’m sad about getting rid of or saving a small piece of it. If it’s made of wood you could try to make something new out of the pieces like a picture frame or something.

Let yourself grief whatever made it significant to you. Make art about it if it helps! I made and framed a miniature pair of pants out of a pair my boyfriend was really attached to but had outgrown. I’ve framed panels of a cardboard box that my family reused my whole childhood. Before my parents renovated the house I grew up in I did a whole photo series.
