Saying Goodbye…

I made a decision last weekend…I am sorry but it is time for you to go. It’s time for me to say goodbye. I’ve held on to you long enough. I know that I will never need to wear you ever again. So there is just no reason to hold on to you anymore.

When I walk into my closet, I don’t want to see you anymore – you remind me of my old life…something I never, ever, never plan to return to. So there is just no reason to hold on to you anymore.

Some of you are 2 sizes too big, some 3 sizes too big and some even 5 sizes too big. Since I plan never to return to those sizes, you need to go. So there is just no reason to hold on to you anymore.

I want to replace you slowly with new clothing that represents the new me. The clothing that feels good to wear, the clothing that takes up less space in my suitcase, the clothing that says to me when I pull the shirt over my head or zip up the pants, “dayum you are awesome!” Sadly you never did any of that for me. So there is just no reason to hold on to you anymore.

I am sure you will find a new person at the place I donate you to help during their current journey. Make sure that you teach them about how far I have come so far and that the journey is about taking a step each day not taking an elevator. So there is just no reason to hold on to you anymore.
