Many years ago a couple of active members in TLW caught me filling up my 80 gallon trash can with 3+ decades of ThisWeeks, cassettes, CD's, and LW Volumes. Their outrage and incredulousness was met with a smile and no comment, as they started to rifle through it as fast as I could dump it in. Most of it ended up being offloaded and hauled home to buttress up their valuable collection.
It was a WONDERFUL DAY in the neighborhood.

I can relate to your personal joy in part of what you wrote - because - I can remember many times that I experienced such great relief, even a quiet joy - when I unloaded things I was un-necessarily carrying around with me, in my mind and soul, which was related to a heavy load of responsibility - I had believed for many years - that I had to carry - in order to be faithful to the Lord. My life in many ways has come to be so much easier - - since I came out and from under a yoke, that I realized and have continued to learn - was or is not HIS yoke.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and My load is light.
