I am a hoarder. There, I said it. I hoard memories. I keep things long after I should. Today, I started cleaning out.

I was on my hotmail account and there I still had emails from exs, including one who decided to break up after two years via email rather than face to face or even on the phone. I kept his final message and all the rest. I am past the point of caring about it. I opened it and laughed that I still had it. Amazing what nearly twelve years will do to your point of view. What I once considered crushing is now something I just shake my head at and dump.

I dumped folder after folder of emails from people who promised to keep in touch and nothing. I have emails I sent asking if they were okay and no answer. Yet I still kept all our correspondence. The time had come for a major purging.

I think we all reach a point in our life where we have to look at the things we are keeping and have to ask ourselves why? Is this person enriching my life or sucking my soul dry? Do I keep these objects because I want to or because I am afraid someone else might ask if I still have it?

So besides cleaning out the house I am trying to clean up my life. Here is hoping to streamlining and making things a bit easier as I continue this thing called life. Have a good day everyone.
