One of my goals for this year is to let go of things that don't matter.

I spend way too much time worrying about things that ultimately have no real affect on my day-to-day life.

So I started off by making a pretty huge decision.

I let Leo use my crayons.

 This may not seem like a big deal to most of you,

but I'm a little bit anal about my crayons. 

I like them to stay nice, and sharp, and organized.

I've had these crayons for over four years and, until now,

Leo has never been allowed to touch them.

But I realized that a box of crayons should probably not last for four years. 

I mean, they're meant to be colored with, right?

They don't want to spend their lives in a box never being touched.

So even though it gives me serious anxiety to find them like this:

 and this:

and broken in bits after being stepped on and thrown around,

nothing bad has come about as a result of them being Leo's.

Hooray for letting go!

(Hopefully the next one's a little easier.)
