Intro...
Hello there! I've just recently been through a break-up (after nearly 5 years!) and I decided to get a blog as a place to vent, and post other random things. While searching for communities, I stumbled upon this one. Cleaning has never been my thing, but I think getting rid of one or a few items at a time is completely doable. My room is beginning to resemble my personal life, a mess! So I think this community will provide the support and motivation that I need to get things back on track.
I have so much stuff crammed into my room, and I'm sure I don't even need most of it. I've just been in the mindset of "What if I need this later?!" Well, after becoming recently single, and the end of the school year quickly approaching, I have plenty of things that I can either throw out or donate. Textbooks can be sold back or recycled, old clothes can be thrown out or donated, but I don't know what to do with this giant "Kiss Me" frog from my ex...
Well, here's to a year of uncluttering my living space as well as my life!

Sorry to hear about your break up.
All the best with the uncluttering. I'm finding it pretty therapeutic.
A note on the frog: if you do want to get rid of it I imagine there's probably somewhere which would gladly take it as a donation. Charity shop, thrift shop, goodwill. Something like that. Just a suggestion. I got rid of a stack of cuddly toys that way.

Oh, thanks for the tip. When we get a full box of donations, I'll see if the church will accept it. That frog really has to go; not only does it make me sad, but takes up the whole top of my bookshelf!

Welcome to the community. I suspect you'll find that a lot of us experience an intertwining of physical clutter in our homes and mental/emotional/spiritual clutter in our lives.
Good luck!
