Making way for the new me

I had two dreams in the last week where I was cleaning out my closet.

In the first dream I was cleaning my actual closet in real life.

In the second dream I went to the house of someone where I felt like I left items. When I got there I threw away my old things. After I was done, I noticed that their house was messy so I cleaned the whole house for them so they'd come home to a clean house. They thanked me for my work.

Today I spent the majority of my productive time cleaning my real closet. In this image, everything that is on the bed is what I am keeping.

I am halfway done.
