Yes, a number of Charlotte's possessions have been recycled where appropriate, donated to charity whenever possible, and some items thrown away.
This wasn't a purge because I still have a number of items like shoes (due to availability of replacements) and clothing (that I still like to wear as *Male Name*).
The makeup has gone, as has my now very ratty wig. All of these items were cheap and therefore easily replaceable - as it is, the makeup was past its best anyway and due for replacement.
Reason being?
Charlotte just doesn't exist right now. She's still there whenever I see clothing I like. I don't shop for clothing any more though - window shopping or actual purchasing.
My total focus in life is family, fitness, finance and work - there simply isn't enough time for Charlotte to exist in the way that she could in the past.
I don't miss her either. The added stress and complexity was not good for me in the short or long term. The financial impact was not good for me, my family or my future.
This hasn't just been a Charlotte thing either. In the past 3 months I have sold my games consoles, my spare road bike, my escooter, my camera kit and more. I've gotten rid of clothing that I don't like in male mode as well - basically downsizing and going full minimalist on everything.
My life is SO MUCH BETTER now.
I get up, have some family time, work, go for lunchtime exercise, work, then more family time, exercise, reading and playing musical instruments.
Charlotte will be back one day, and I will be in a far better position to appreciate her.
