| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). | I have a 5' X 5' storage unit with a few random things in it . I cannot fit these things in my small apartment but can't bear to discard or pass them along. However, the monthly storage fee puts a strain on my limited budget. Any words of wisdom or encouragement? Thank you | ||||||||||

I really appreciate that you shared your difficult decision and your thorough reasoning. I don’t envy your decision. I feel for you and I also believe you’ve got this. Being external to this may I offer my 2 cents and an idea?
In rereading your survey answers it sounds like you’ve worked through which set is staying and which one is leaving 👍. Maybe take a photo of both sets for the memory and decide to keep the set that will bring you more enjoyment and usage. (Instead of keeping the set that will cause you the greatest regret to release why not keep the one that will bring you the most joy 💕. )
