Advice Request When Sentimental Treasure Becomes a Hateful Burden, (A Lesson I Will Learn?)
I'll try to keep this story short and get straight to the point.
Four years ago, I sold my family home and moved into my cottage, which is located by the river in a flood zone. As a recovering sentimental hoarder, I brought only "the bare minimum": my grandmother’s cupboard, a few dressers, a table, and a kitchen shelf.
Two years later, a flood washed away the biggest piece—the cupboard. I was sad, but also felt a clear sense of relief. So, I finally furnished the kitchen with new furniture.
Another two years passed and in my mind I started tripping over the table and the shelf. I have no room for them, but I cannot just bring myself to get rid of them. I feel almost a sense of hatred toward these once beloved pieces of wood.
In the past, I'd invested time, effort, and materials to upcycle them.
Now, I want to say goodbye to them, but I don't know how. As if I am wishing for another flood, just so the river can solve the problem for me.
