How to use "Irrelevant" in context?
Irrelevant is one word that aptly describes the state of objects in a house after a family moves out. From the speckled plates and cups left on tables, to the magazines and books left on furniture, the move often marks the end of one life and the beginning of another. In an instant, everything has been tossed aside in favor of a fresh start.
This sudden change can be liberating, or it can be overwhelming. For some, the untidiness is a sign that life is moving forward. For others, it can be a sign that everything has been left behind, forgotten.
