Throw Out Time 👚♻️👖

[@savhardt]

as a neurodivergent person it's so nice to see someone go over giving away things they used to treasure in a healthy way! it hadn't even occured to me that those items may end up even MORE cherished and this shouldn't have to cause the immense guilt i'm feeling :)

[@beckiejbrown]

Taken a long time to feel like that... and the same for buying too. Oh my, that's amazing to see that in a shop and I'd love it... but so would a child or other person who actually needs that. There's been lots I've passed on buying in that way

[@BrokenDarkFire]

I’ve had 6 donation bags at the food of my bed for 3 months now, and your video was the inspiration I needed to finally comb through the bags, organize them, and pull out anything I’ve changed my mind about. It’s gonna be so nice to get these things out of here!

[@beckiejbrown]

Sometimes it takes time though to get a collection ready. I have bags that sit for a while and then go. Sometimes it's easier to let something pile up and then do it all at once. I know that sometimes I decide to hold something back... another good reason for doing it in stages

[@Sthemingway]

I remember when Disney had toddler princess merchandise! As you've continued to go through your old stuff this year, how many times have you had moments of "I totally forgot I had this! (excitement!)" or "Why do I have this? (perplexed!)" or "I've been looking for this for years!".

[@beckiejbrown]

Sister and I shared three toddler dolls too. Got rid of them a long time ago thankfully. Weird times! I remember most things, theres the odd thing thats gone missing though. I have the clasp of a glittery trinket box from 1998. I honestly can't remember where it's gone. I obviously kept the clasp. Had a moment today... been looking for a specific folder with all my childhood certificates and it's been missing. Found it.... but in my music box and no certificates.... so now on a mission to go through everything to find them! When did I do that?! Some stuff I remember so vividly...

"Some of what you see behind me is mine..." Me: notices unsurprising pattern 💖💕😁

[@beckiejbrown]

:'D I PROMISE! :D All the boxes that are mine have pink tape on them... One quarter of the garage is entirely sister and some brothers. It feels good to have less compared to them nowadays!

[@_xone]

@@beckiejbrown Good that they're clear and you can see exactly what's in them, I would forget. Unless... accompanying spreadsheet? 🤓

[@Sport-Dave]

Love how you can find clip of you wearing the item you are talking about,yet it's years later.Just keep going,you're doing great

[@beckiejbrown]

I love it

[@TheEdmond30]

You've come a very long way, and its lovely to see you doing well

[@isabelleb.3653]

So proud of you! I remember when you mentioned the film you did at uni about hoarding. Decluttering can be so hard!

[@happiness7808]

Loved seeing this! Motivates me to work on decluttering my own things! Btw, the white headband looked super cute I am glad you’re doing well!

[@k.538]

This vid reminded me of a bag of clothes still sitting in my wardrobe. I put the stuff in it to donate/recycle some time ago now... 😅

[@beckiejbrown]

You got this!

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

I live like a serial killer as well. Having stuff everywhere.

[@PixiePrinses]

I don't struggle with getting rid of items but I often regret getting rid of stuff. Like I will randomly think of something I used to own or I'll see a photo of me wearing some clothing item and wish I still had it. Even though I got rid of it for a reason or I wouldn't even wear the item anymore. It's so weird because it's so much better to give items a new home than have them sitting in a box or bag!

[@saruchuu]

Hello Becky! I'm so impressed by this video, your ability to remember what clothes you were wearing on a specific video/photo, then find it and then edit the whole thing. Also this video really inspires me to keep going through the same process, I too have tons of boxes with old stuff. However, I'm too attached to some of the memories each item brings back. How did you manage to detach from them? Does knowing you have so much footage of you wearing/using them help?

[@AshleighSherlock1998]

As a person still on the neurospicy waiting list (approaching 4 years now and 10 since I was first told to be tested oops) I find videos like these so helpful. To understand it’s ok to say goodbye to things for them to live a new life. I hold strong memories and emotions with objects and it’s something I’m healthily introducing now I’m approaching 27, I also don’t like having so much stuff. How you categorise your boxes is the same as me haha love it with the magazine clippings etc. I’m so happy you’re back, your videos being so much joy to others thank you xxx

[@Nikki94here]

Nice to see you uploading more regularly, and i'm pleased to see Blossom doing well :) We're a similar age and I've been watching your videos since we were both teenagers. If you're up for it, based on a comment you made in this video, I'd love to hear an update on your thoughts about having kids (no pressure obvs). I'm sure, like everyone, your thoughts have flip-flopped over time. I wonder if you feel any pressure from your parents to keep that box of baby clothes just in case? Also side note/tip - I have my own hoarding tendencies and I have to say, the day I threw out all my old schoolwork was a day I never regretted ;)

[@hereforthechaos7614]

Yaaaaaas, throw out time!

[@beckiejbrown]

Yaaaaaas

[@JorgePereira-ne6ie]

Haven't think of donating something as "giving what makes you happy to make someone happy" is a really kind way of viewing this. Also is impressive how you find videos where you wear something almost 20 years ago. How do you do it Rebecca? like you tags on all your videos or you just remember things better when you record them? (sorry for my potato english, I slept like 2 hours :c )

[@stevenlebo6922]

George Carlin ha da great about "Stuff" :)

[@jaredwfrick]

seven words to muck with the algorithm

[@hmg191]

I have autistic tendancies to pile stuff, so this makes me very excited (and nosy)! I like the fact that items tell stories but Im also trying to be frugal and get rid of things in a sensible way. I say get 'rid' but I think we need to stop calling it getting rid because it doesn't sit right. Giving it a new life is probably better. Not forget to mark up clothing as 'rags' for the charity shop if its no longer wearable - they can then recycle it and get some money! (It also saves the poor person time at the charity shop because people forget they have to go through every item before it hits the shelves)

[@beckiejbrown]

This was a random bag, haven't done one of these since 2019, so was partially curious what people would think.... if anyone would watch haha :). I can go down things more in depth. I have filmed a flat tour, but the chances are it will go up in Jan-Feb of 2025... I go down some boxes in that. In Skyrim when I play... I carry too many goods in my inventory and often have to dump stuff... have phrases now "going back to my home to dump some stuff" :D Yeah... I seperate rag from clothes, not all shops accept stuff like that (when I helped run one, we had so much rag stuff for money.... about 40p a bag if that...). But lately found the recycle centre better for that stuff. I know for sure it will go. Yeah, it really does save time for the people going through. I don't fold anymore as had so many bags tipped out infront of me... :D. I try to help though.

[@chrisedwards4917]

Keep it up! I think you're winning! ❤

[@beckiejbrown]

I agree! I can tell as I have more boxes than stuff now... which is amazing! Used to have three fancy dress boxes. Now one (and a family one with really old tudour-esque clothes in - to the right of me!). Weird though, as it all just keeps coming. Amazing how tightly packed boxes can get

[@stephaniewashere9821]

Nice. I would have bought some from you. Giving them away to charity is good. We have a store called Goodwill. I think all the states have them. Don't pull your hairs. You have nice hair. Stay safe. There's crazy times coming for all of us. Love ya. Hugs. 💜💎

[@AndyRoxette]

Good job 🥰

[@haverdee23]

i appreciate that you've kept all the letters!! i sent one in with a boofle when i was about ten (in 2015 i think?) im nearly 21 now!

[@beckiejbrown]

@@haverdee23 a teddy or a drawing? I had a few boofle drawings but one I stuck on my wall around 2014. Had at least two little boofle teddies between 2014-2017. Both in my cuddily box. My huge boofle my parents gave me - I’ve been trying to get rid of for years! He still lives but… kinda need him gone haha. The little ones are adorable!

[@beckiejbrown]

@@haverdee23 Ps. Happy nearly 21!

Have you considered voice acting? presenting? You have a lovely voice!

[@beckiejbrown]

I have, but it kind all came to a halt before covid. I couldn't navigate working world as was (and still am Autistic), so lots of barriers went up I couldn't find a way through. As for post-covid and post-diagnosis I don't think I'd be capable due to disability even if known.

[@bun-e9361]

@@beckiejbrown This is understandable, those environments do come with heavy exposure and lots of networking which is very overwhelming in itself. I think it's still great that we get to appreciate your voice in videos on a platform/environment you feel more comfortable with!

Becky if you still have the Disney Princess pin badges could I have them please, I collect pin badges and they look so cute.
