Some of you may know that I live in a one-bedroom apartment with my family of four. With limited space, I’ve learned to be thoughtful and creative in how I use every corner of our home, making sure it stays organized without compromising its beauty.

Recently, we struggled to fit all our shoes into the small shoe rack we had. So I decided to replace it with a larger one. Before the new rack arrived, I cleared out the old one and made space for what was coming. That’s when a thought struck me—this is exactly what we often fail to do in our lives.

From childhood, our minds collect countless memories—some joyful, some painful. As we grow, new experiences keep adding to that mental space. But do we ever stop to clear out the ones that no longer serve us? Are we making room for what’s ahead, or just crowding our minds with what’s behind?

We hold on tightly to memories that hurt us, even though they only bring stress and frustration. But our inner space—like our homes—is limited. Isn’t it wiser to let go of what no longer brings value and preserve only what uplifts us?

It’s worth holding onto the moments that bring us joy. But when it comes to memories that weigh us down, maybe it’s time to ask: why keep them when space is limited?

What’s one memory that no longer serves you—one that you’re ready to let go of to welcome something better?
