Holding on to the past

Do you find it hard getting rid of old items? Children’s baby clothes, a particular top or memento that reminds you of a special time? I do, to a fault. Why the heck am I holding on to a particular sweater from 2013 or an empty perfume bottle?

Yeah. I immediately messed my life up the day I turned 18 as my parents intentionally gave me a warped view of how the world works. I wish I could go back to 17 years and 364 days and make some very small changes and I’d actually be okay right now. So I’m just stuck thinking about being 17 and 364 days and hating my parents for not giving me some guidance that was very very simple, but one that you’d need a trusted adult to tell you else that knowledge just won’t be there in time
