My car would be an analogy for this. We used to live in a sketchy neighborhood and one night our car got keyed by some kids. I was pretty upset and up-in-arms about it for a while. Fixing it would be expensive (insurance covers it, but still have to pay deductible), so we just decided to leave it. Once I got over it, I found myself being much less stressed about the condition of the car in general. As long as I'm keeping it, I'm fine it with it looking not new and as long as its functional, superficial things don't bother me anymore. If it comes time to sell the car, I'll get it fixed up.
