Think about the last time you got a new shirt.

What made it new?

That the tag still itched? That it smelled like the store and not detergent? That you weren’t used to seeing it hanging in your closet when you opened the door? That you wanted to wear it more than any of your other clothes, because it was unique?

At some point, that shirt stopped being so special.

At some point, it became just another shirt in your wardrobe.

When does something stop being new? When does it start just being…yours?
