“People hold on to their clutter because they are afraid to let it go–afraid of the emotions they may experience in the process of sorting through the stuff, afraid they may make a mistake and later regret getting rid of something, afraid they will leave themselves vulnerable, exposed or at risk in some way.”

This quote from Karen Kingston’s Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui applies to me. Getting rid of things makes me anxious. I tossed a lot of stuff in January. Now I’ve got to rest awhile.

I imagine that Iggy also feels anxious about tossing stuff. He thinks he might need it later.
