It's okay to be done

No one should expect to keep the exact same tastes their entire life. Times change, people grow and get exposed to new ideas and cultures and sub-cultures. Change is actually pretty fun when you roll with it.

Take a look at the things you've had in front of you so long you've stopped seeing them. Do they still match who you are?

Is the artwork on your walls - when you look at it with fresh eyes - still what you want to see every day? How about that stuff on the front of your fridge and next to the phoone? And those knick-knacks there on the shelf?

If it isn't you anymore, send it on to a new home.

If you aren't quite sure you're ready for that, set it aside for a while. (More about that tomorrow).
