just. let. go.

things. i have so many things. i am tired of so many things. today my friend came over to help me and i tried to get rid of some of the things that have been building up around here. cd's i'll never listen to. magazines i have read. papers i'll never need again. my stupid portfolio from a short and lackluster career as a graphic designer 7 years ago. i feel lighter. also, my yard got a major trim today. making way for new growth adn letting the light shine in. it looks like the house got a brazilian bikini wax. if i look really closely, i think i can see it blushing.
but i digress...
things. who needs 'em? that is my theme for today. its the same for my body. all the stuff that happens to you, especially the trauma and sadness and doubt and frustration, can get inside your body and set up house and refuse to leave. i want to let it go. nowadays, i am letting it wash over me. come in, go out. don't get stuck. i don't need to carry all those things with me physically. i am learning that you can have access to things without carrying them on your back. be it books or memories or an old favorite song, i can get that stuff whenever i want, without having to touch it with my hands.
