happy g day to my sister, love you from across the country literally! i slept like a baby last night as i’m still recovering from the drive, but when i woke up, i began looking at all the things my parents have that are mine. aj’s mom told me a while ago that parents accumulate a bunch of things from their children as years pass and today i am now realizing just how true that is. my parents have things of mine from elementary school. it’s crazy how these things have traveled with them for decades to house after house after house. the reason i have to look through these things is because i have to downsize in order to put my new things in my closet, my room, my dresser, etc. there’s letters, old clothes with adolescent memories attached to them, old sports gear, just so much stuff.
it’s a whole bunch of things i don’t need, but i can’t help but to feel some type of way getting rid of them.
