Waist Not, Want Not

Recently went on a short binge of YouTube videos of tidying house and life, and it motivated me to start with something small, which is my wardrobe. Also it was the easiest as I already had a lot of shirts that almost can’t fit me anymore. I know this because I was reminded quite often by my wife, that these shirts were bought at least 6 years ago. Some were even older than that.

I used to wear shirts with slim-fit fittings and size ‘S’. So were my pants, with the waist size smaller than my age. Unfortunately this was no longer true but I still kept the ones that are getting a bit tight. Only today I come to accept that even if don’t grow a paunch, I would never fit into these pants. Hence with acceptance and relieve, I packed up these clothes and saying goodbye to them.

What also helped was from this Youtube videos, it mentioned how by giving away, I gain more. More space. More flexibility.

So people, waist not, want not. Apologies on the pun 🤭.

Thank you for reading.
