The Memory of Clothing

The Memory of Clothing

There are memories associated with some of my clothes. I've washed them many times. Separated them by color tones and used fabric softener time and time again. Dried them according to durability. Tossed out items that no longer fit or don't serve any purpose for any season.

I have articles of clothing that I simply cannot part with. Pairs of panties associated with past loves. Shirts that old friends borrowed and came back with facets of their energy. Nothing can detach a memory. I remember what I was wearing when I first met some of the most important people from my past, from my present. I remember if I wore that skirt, I thought it would last.
On my way to a brand new adventure to a place of many attachments. Maybe its not the wardrobe or the person, but its the sense memory... Just in case, I'm going shopping today! The future is yet to be written, with new garments yet to be worn. I can make new memories and reminisce with new clothing.
