Old Habits
Jun. 16th, 2011 01:28 amAs I'm going through my mounds of stuff that I've collected in my 31 years of life I have moments where I pause to recollect where I got the item, what it means to me, why I've kept it for so long and what I'm going to do with it in the future.
Most times I end up asking why I kept the item this long and throw it in the trash.
Then there are the weird things I find it exceedingly difficult to destroy. My plans for a D&D game that went particularly well? Maybe someone else wants that. Really bad poetry from when I was an emo teenager? I'll appreciate saving that some day. These scrap pieces of paper? I hate wasting paper; office products are catharctic for me and throwing them out pierces through me on some fundamental level.
It's strange what I yearn to hold onto as I leave it all behind.
In other news I'm looking for people to come take things from me. Furniture, shelves, items of interest, tents. Need something? Let me know and I'll let you know if I have it. If there's a cost involved it will be tiny.
