I could tell you but I probably won't
Stuff and stuff
We all have things.
Stuff, even, thing that are ours and no one else’s.
Even if our thing, is just like their thing, it is our thing.
The stuff we have is ours and it makes us…happy?
We all have stuff, stuff we don’t use, and for that matter stuff we do not even need. Hell maybe even stuff we don’t actually want.
But we have it none the less and it is our stuff.
Some of us have more stuff than we have places to keep stuff.
I’m trying to get rid of stuff
On one hand it is really easy to get rid of stuff.
You find the nearest trash can and you toss that shit in.
Go ahead, do it… if you can.
Some stuff goes pretty easy other stuff doesn’t want to go.
Trigger stuff. Stuff that makes you remember.
Remember something that you haven’t thought about in ever so long.
Like that kiss under the stars, leaning against the damp stone of the building not caring if anyone saw.
The horrible trip,
The broken bones,
The funny story you and your best friend laugh about with only a single word, because of some ugly little trinket.
A child’s first homework,
The piece of art which is a tree? No, it’s a shark…what the hell is it? It doesn’t matter what it is now you remember the child that needed you more than anything else… the child who is now an adult.
All time gone away.
Saved in the bits and bobbles all in boxes, up on shelves, tucked into corners.
All the stories, travels, memories of a hundred yesterdays all begin to pile up and accumulate.
Then you look at things and struggle to remember, why did you keep the placemat from the Chinese place, which time was it that you went. What is my animal sign?
The memories are there but the reason for the touchstone is lost but many times it is not.
Cleaning up can be a bigger adventure than you supposed.
Perhaps more than you bargained
It can seem like each little thing you touch comes with a flood of memories and you find yourself sitting in a room that isn’t really cleaned up any more that it was two hours ago but you are mentally worn out from all the emotions you’ve just experienced.
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff to follow most likely
Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday
