Memories
So I am working on clearing a lot of clutter out of my life.
I've been spending a couple hours a day down in my basement sorting through all the old books, paperwork, and miscellaneous junk that has accumulated over the years.
I'm on three garbage bags full of junk, and 7 boxes of books that I am going to be selling/giving away. (anyone want the complete works of Stephen King?)
... and I ran across an old Love Letter.
Now I have quite the collection from ML, writing back and forth was how we built our relationship,
Me writing to her really helped me become the person I am today, it let me express a lot of the feelings that I didn't know how to express.
And reading what she gave me helped me build confidence in myself, it gave me support and something to trust and believe in.
I kept everything she ever wrote me, had them with me for 6 years now all in a Tupperware container downstairs.
but this letter was from The Ex. The one that broke my heart. it was full of feeling and emotion, something that meant a lot to me when she first gave it to me 4 years ago.
What do I do with it? What do I do with them? should I throw it out, but is that fair cause I kept all the others?
Should I throw all of them out with all the other junk from my past I don't want to keep around any more?
Or keep to remember the past?
Mere words written on a piece of paper, so many years ago, and yet they still have such a profound impact on my mind.
... *sigh*
