Your favorite hoodie not fitting anymore is sad news and good news at the same time.

Outgrowing something you loved holds two true things at once. There is real loss in it, because the thing fit a version of you that is gone, and real evidence in it that you changed. People usually pick one of those feelings and suppress the other, which makes both harder to carry. You are allowed to be sad about progress.

When something from an earlier stretch of your life stops fitting, let yourself miss it for a minute before deciding what to do with it. Keep one thing if keeping it helps. Then make room for what fits now.
