packing up your house is weird, even if you are only moving two blocks away. just the entire exercise of going over all your stuff, finding things you had forgotten you possessed, old memories you thought no longer mattered - it all comes rushing back like it happened yesterday. and it doesn't really matter if those are big life changing memories or just small simple stuff - like that awesome dress you bought at that sale - it was such a steal!! Having to throw it away kills you -- so what if you never wear it and you have way too much stuff anyway. its not the dress that matters, its the memory.
moving houses is like giving up all the memories of all the years spent there and just moving on. its almost never easy.

and that's why Sri Brad Pitt once said in The Fight Club - "The things you own end up owning you"
ReplyDeleteI believe revisiting memories is always captivating, you almost get so lost and engrossed, that the thought of giving up the old stuff or thoughts/beliefs becomes all the more difficult!
