I’m going through all my boxes and getting rid of almost EVERYTHING I have carried around with me for the past 15 years. That includes notes from friends in elementary school, all the holiday cards except the ones from family, my comic books, any unsentimental knick knack, everything that has to do with ex-boyfriends (who knew I had so much of THAT stuff left around) and anything that takes up space but has no purpose.
Honestly, I keep praying for G-d to use this situation to really grow my heart because some suprising emotions are popping up. In response to some of it, I surprise myself by thinking: “I really just couldn’t care less about that person anymore.” And to some of it, I think: “Lord, I wish that friendship/relationship had turned out differently. I miss the good times with that person. I really do.”
Cest la vie. Life is too short to hang around in the past with people who don’t care to participate or things that have no place in your future.
