A Slob Comes Clean

385: Clutter and My Hero Complex


Listen Later

I've realized that a lot of the things I held onto "just in case" were things I envisioned saving the day. Won't I be glad I had that? Won't everyone ooh and aah if I end up already having the very thing we needed in that dire situation that could possibly happen one day?
