It's time to let go of what no longer serves you

oglobo30 August 2026 at 08:30

The article is a personal reflection on letting go, where the author discusses what she is leaving behind in life. The central theme is the ability to say goodbye to material and immaterial things, compared to the difficulty of saying goodbye to a mother.

Among the objects the author is parting with are a jacket bought in Argentina 18 years ago, which hasn't fit for seven years, books that will not be reread, and a broken-clasp evening purse. The jacket, according to her, has exclusive design and cannot be found in regular stores.

On a personal level, the author mentions saying goodbye to an ex-boyfriend who occasionally showed up, stating that she no longer wants to "be anyone's fetish." She also bids farewell to some relatives who are only friendly on special occasions but criticize her behind her back.

Additionally, the author mentions letting go of songs that were fleeting enthusiasm, of four unwanted pounds, and of nails she had been letting grow. The tone of the text is reflective and light, mixing material objects with relationships and personal aspects of life.
