Oh I know! I know! It's just I find there's a certain air of ...disposal? in the above post that conflicts with some of the things I like to imagine, like your write-protection factor--love's molecular archiving. One of the most beautiful concepts I've encountered, one that continuously saves over itself.
Speaking from experience, I also understand how objects can become purely negative containers. Two years ago I walked out on half a life and three-quarters of my belongings.. It was. freeing.
By way of explanation, I know one of the distraught people who discovered the body, so that news story's been pretty close to the surface of my consciousness, especially since the sentence was announced last week. And language can be irrationally powerful. and that is my only implication.
For me, it doesn't conflict with the write-protection. There's nothing changing about the Love, that's still very much there. In fact, I think that's part of it. These objects aren't negative containers - perhaps reminders of positivity passed? Putting all of her stuff in a plastic bag was, in retrospect, a bit knee-jerky of me. A jerky I'm working on getting rid of, actually. Soon. Like another Nicole in my life has said, it's a wheel, and it turns.
Just be sure to do it in person-- I once had an ex-boyfriend leave the Bag on my doorstep. Granted, I was stumbling home at 6am after an all-night sex binge with someone nicer, but still...
