After a long relationship, have you ever packed things away? Things that maybe weren't even theirs, or things they hadn't given you....just things of yours that reminded you of them? I've had a box sitting over in the corner of my room since October 26th. I haven't moved it, or touched it. I packed it with a few things, and sealed it...i even vacumed around it *s*...but today...the day before I turn 23...something asked me to open it. The first thing I saw was my green lantern shirt. The one she used to sleep it...that shirt used to be my favorite. I love the green lantern, I used to wear it to all the parties, because it would glow in the dark, and when I saw it...I decided it was time to reclaim it. I know it's a little thing, and I'm sure id doesn't make sense to anyone really...but I'm wering that shirt right now. It's mine again...and I'll be wearing it tonight at midnight when i turn 23.
This box has little peices of me in it...of us maybe...and I'd be lying if I didn't say I still miss her...but I miss me to, So I'll empty this box....one peice at a time.

yay for the little victories.

Wow, I totally understand. Right after Dave and I broke up, I couldn't stand to be in my own room. There were pictures of us all over the walls, I had all these tshirts of his, half my favorite cds were ones he bought or burned me. He had touched everything, slept on my sheets...I couldn't even drive my car without remembering that he had gotten my steering wheel cover and installed my sound system. It's like you can't get away from it. But then again, it was part of your life, like it or not. And maybe it's better to build on that rather than pack it away.

Happy birthday, love. smile

that's beautiful...it's like when you're in a relationship, things that were once yours aren't anymore because they're connected to another person. things that were strictly yours now remind you of someone else.
