“The only thing sadder than an empty closet is a full one. The empty one symbolizes lack, but also potential: It is a space of one’s own, to be filled as circumstance, taste and resources allow. Look at it the right way, and an empty closet means hope, a platform for the life you may lead.
A full closet, though, can feel like a complete sentence. You can switch to those thin hangers, or the ones that support multiple garments, but even within the confines of a rack, clutter is still clutter. What that means is that one’s accumulative tendencies have left no more oxygen.”
–Jon Caramanica in The New York Times
