Hello friends-- I gutted my closet this weekend. I took out all of the old sweaters and casual shirts with birds and boats on them. I took down the coats with holes in the sleeves. I threw away the floral shirts with wide collars. I marveled that I had ever been the kind of optimistic person who thought I might one day be skinny enough to wear these clothes, or okay enough with my body looking like a bell jar when squeezed into ungiving wool. I think facing one’s closet can be depressing because it’s full of all those dropped aspirations. Lives you once had and lives that totally failed to materialize. It’s a palimpsest of the past, present, and the future. A closet tells you all the ways you’ve let yourself down.
