Going to be moving in to a much smaller place within the next few weeks. There’s no real rush, but tonight, in a frenzy, I started going through my things, trying to sort out what not to trash. I have trouble throwing things away, though (especially cards! Oh god, the cards. Birthdays, Christmas, graduation, Easter, etc. I feel so guilty and unappreciative when I eventually decide to let them go). I’ve still got unused stamps from New Zealand. A pair of my grandmother’s (cheap) sunglasses. A friend’s notebook from our high school journalism class (why? no idea, it’s just there). I found a note from an ex, and reading it, it took me a while to figure out who it was from. The words could have come from just about any one I’ve ever been with. But then certain names were mentioned, you know, and from then it was just too easy…
Guess I’m still hung up on an idea that never fully developed itself. But isn’t that just the way I’ve always done?
