Why is this so hard?

For the past 6 months I have been meaning to clean out my bedroom at my parents place but for some reason I just have not been able to complete this task.

I gave the excuse that I was going to wait until my sister came home and then we could sort out the piles of clothes that are strewn across my room together but she is back now and I still don't want to do it. Its all just too hard.

I know they are not clothes I am going to wear again and I know that they need to go to a good home (the op shop) but I just can't throw things out.

I have been able to throw away 20 years of paper clippings, design brochures, cinema tickets (yes I had kept every one) and even old school books and assignments - but clothes and shoes seem so much more difficult to just disregard.

I know I will never wear the size 8 black shorts I was able to slip into 5 years ago but I just can't get rid of them.
They have personality and memories attached to them.

Why is this process so so hard? Do you find this process hard or is it just me?
