Dear Closet,
I want to publicly and sincerely apologize for my behavior toward you today. I looked at you whilst getting ready to go out to dinner and berated you unfairly. I scowled and accused you of having nothing in you that I wanted to wear. I let out a mocking laugh and said that you’d never be able to give me what I want–nay, what I NEED–for a full year. Who are we kidding here, I challenged. If you are ready to let me down after less than a month, how will you ever last a whole year?
But then I remembered that I am the one responsible for what you have in you. You are just along for the ride. I made you what you are today.
And in the end, even though I laid into you unfairly, you nevertheless came through for me. That cute black and white tiered shirt–were you hiding it from me? And those Levi’s–I am afraid I lacked imagination, thinking they were too casual for a restaurant like Delancey. But the first words I heard after getting ready were “You look great.”
So, Closet, we are in this together and I’ll do my utmost to appreciate you and to use better communication skills in the future.
Sincerely,
Jennifer

Jennifer,
I too am guilty of closet abuse. I guess you could say I am a closeted abuser? Anyway, I must remember the closet I have is of my making. Cheers to treating our closets better int he future! S
LOVED your post! You definitely put a smile on my face! I guess I should be kinder to my closet as well! But sometimes he/she (?) really is just SO lacking!
