Where can you reduce clutter in your life?
I am afraid of clutter.
Not because there is too much
but because letting go hurts.
I keep things.
Not out of habit,
but out of love.
Old memories,
unfinished affection,
people and moments
that once felt like home.
So when I hear
“declutter your life,”
I fall quiet.
Because not everything we hold
is a burden.
Still, I ask myself
where can I let go?
Not the house first.
The mind—
where thoughts stay longer
than they should.
The heart—
where some ties remain
only because leaving feels heavier
than staying.
The words—
that don’t need to be spoken
anymore.
And some people
who disturb my peace,
even if distance
comes slowly.
The things I keep
I don’t throw them away.
I soften their place.
I change their purpose.
Because nothing old is useless.
Some things just need
a kinder corner.
This is how I declutter
not by emptying my life,
but by making it
lighter.
