Survey #255—Full Response from Gabriella
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Is there a room or space in your home that you don’t love or that you tend to avoid using—or even entering? What factors contribute to your distaste for or lack of enjoyment of this space? | No no-go zones in my home! |
| Do you have regrets about anything that you’ve discarded or given away in your decluttering process? If you answered yes, how do you manage negative feelings about your choice? If you answered no, to what do you credit your satisfaction with the choices you’ve made? | I regretted having given away a blazer that I liked a lot. I just accepted that it was gone and didn't get too upset about it though. Then I found it again and was glad. Something similar happened to me with a big stack of old precious linens that my great grandmother had acquired for her daughters 100 years ago. I had mixed feelings about the loss: On the one hand I regretted having lost some pieces I would have liked to use and also some items my great grandmother had delicately crocheted. On the other hand I felt somewhat relieved that I didn't need to deal with a lot of items I have no need for, as for example a huge, very beautiful damask tablecloth with 12 matching napkins. Well, this morning, as I was cleaning out a corner of my basement, I found a box that contained all the linens. Mirrored mixed feelings :o) |
