I started storing seasonal clothes in drawers under the bed to make room, so I pulled my wardrobe bigger so my work clothes would stay in the same place. I never told anyone I was unemployed, so I got dressed and prepared so my days wouldn’t be filled with other things. I put all of my work clothes in my closet and completely separated the other clothes. Not only that, but also because my husband and I moved into a bigger house five years ago and my mother was fired soon after, my family started taking things to keep in our house because we had more space. I’m not a minimalist – or at least not one who doesn’t have things around – in my home office, where I now spend a lot of time, with interesting pens, glasses, photos, candles and water bottles. I have a lot of things to do and worry about finding time for long days at work. So I practiced my agility, took two weeks off and concentrated on two or three things a day. I started selling and giving a lot of other things that I no longer needed. I found a shiny beret that had belonged to me for ten years and which belonged to an ambitious figure who, I began to understand, was an alter ego, apparently in very expensive clothes. When I went back to work and everything went well, I felt lighter. Every time I passed by, I opened it only because I felt good. Why do I need seven blankets if we live at home together? The towels I used to use were cleaned. This man wore high heels, sequins, and “he” must have been at least one size smaller than me! I bought a nice soft leather jacket with oil for a high price, but I gave it to my girlfriend because it wouldn’t fit. I am much more inclined to train or walk dogs today than I am to a nightclub, but my wardrobe doesn’t reflect that trend. At work, I felt pressure to dress up in a certain way and wear high heels, but they were in pain. But I really didn’t have enough time to wear all of the everyday clothes I was wearing.
