    Thank you. You just helped me get to the bottom of why I can’t let these stupid boxes go. I used to move every year.

    Now that I don’t move so much, I think I can throw some out.

      It’s crazy how strongly the brain tries to protect us from old stresses, without us being consciously aware of it.

      I’m glad you don’t need to move every year anymore! It’s one of those normalized things that truly shouldn’t be. I mean, it’s not the avocado toast that’s keeping homeownership out of reach, it’s the constant moving/application/deposit/etc fees we face so often
