When I declutter with clients, we often find mementos of the past that bring on a sense of regret, remorse, bitterness, or guilt. They feel they have to hold on to every object, so they can remember who they are and where they came from. They feel that they are tied to the past. That they have no freedom. But I always remind them of the simple fact that they have choices. They have freedom. And I tell them this: Who you are in this moment is informed by your past, but not dictated by it. You have free will and self determination. That is the art of life. Think of your past as a palette of paint. You have been given a palette of paint with a certain array of colors; How you mix them together and what you paint with it suggests infinite possibility. The work of art you create with the palette you have been given is YOUR LIFE. Make something beautiful! You are WORTHY!
