Why do people keep items they never use?
People do not keep objects. They keep futures they are not ready to abandon.
The guitar has not been touched for years.
The running shoes remain in the closet.
The hidden mechanism is possibility preservation.
Objects often represent future versions of ourselves.
Throwing them away feels larger than cleaning a room.
It feels like closing a door.
People think clutter is made of things.
Very often, it is made of dreams waiting for another chance.
