All my life is out of commission. Everything that I anticipate wanting to use between now and December is placed neatly in some suitcase, awaiting the final check-off before venturing to L.A.
It was somewhat painful and somewhat spiritual, putting everything in suitcases.
My clothes I packed matter of factly. My shoes I packed easily until I reached the pair from Prom. My favorite books, shampoo, conditioner, it all went in. I pulled posters down from my walls and packed them away. I took my meditation cushion. I packed my movies.
Then I was suddenly in a panic, scouring my room for pictures of people. I packed a great many of them, pictures of everyone I have spent good times with over the past 18+ years. I have so many, and they're going with me to be put on a bulliten board. Maybe later I'll take some down and replace them with new pictures from Oxy, but for now I want them with me, concrete reminders of all the great times I've had here.
Truth is, I've packed up all the good times and left all the bad memories behind. And I want to say thank you to all of you for the great times we've had together. I'll miss you all very much, especially when I see that photo of us on my bulliten board.
