Just a reminder to anyone who clings to belongings, afraid to use them and break or wear them out -
I'm looking at all these stickers people gave me years ago. They're not sticky anymore. I was afraid to stick them, and now they can never be stuck. I never got to enjoy them. This applies to everything. Toys, shoes, anything. Use it and enjoy it. If it gets ruined, you got to enjoy it instead of it degrading having never been enjoyed.

Funny story. Years ago we were hosting a Sukkot dinner (ref: https://www.heyalma.com/high-holiday-guide/what-the-heck-is-sukkot/) using our china and crystal. One of our guests commented that we were brave to use our fancy crystal outdoors. I said, "What's the point of having things and not using them? If it breaks, it breaks." A few minutes later she accidentally knocked over a glass and it broke. I've never been gladder about something I'd just said. 😝
