This is Why You Get Rid of All The Pictures

Because if you don't, you'll randomly come across a picture in your iPhoto library and just seeing how beautiful he was your heart will break into a million little pieces.

All over again.

It probably wouldn't matter much even if you did get rid of all of the pictures. They're still in your mind, or else you wouldn't be having so much trouble getting over him. Your heart just needs more time, me thinks.

I guess so Delton : (

Greetings, I'm new here, and really not quite sure any more how I wondered on to your blog.... anyway...

I think what you said is true: moving things associated with now-painful memories from places that they'll easily be seen and thus bring the memories to the forefront of your mind, is a good idea. Making that less sesquipedalian: Good call. Deleting/hiding pictures, CD's, songs, anything else with a memory associated with it is smart.
And Delton's right too: Your memory will never be erased. I've earnestly longed for it to happen - begged God and offered friends anything I could give - if it would just take the memories out of my head. \-: Doesn't work.

I need to find a campfire for some similar things that I have laying around, that just need to be destroyed and forgotten as I move on.
Interesting Blog idea, hope you don't mind if I follow along; you're free to do the converse.

Thanks The Ex. : ) ( I still love that name, it makes me smile every time)

Hey Cap.
Welcome, and nice to meet you and stuff. I always forget how I manage to get to new blogs, it's funny how that works, huh?
And, wow. I had to look up "sesquipedalian"it may be my most favourite new word ever. Awesomeness.

The whole deleting thing is a good idea. Absolutely. Is difficult, especially when you're a sentimental person, but is easier in the long run.
You know? I actually burned a bunch of stuf last year. My parents looked at me funny when I sat in front of their fire and chucked stuff in but it was good.
Anyhoooo.
You're totally welcome to follow along and comment along and whatever else!
Thanks for the input (and the cool new word!)

Sweet. Thanks.
I'm also Terpsichorean - though I owe someone a hat tip, they gave me that one through some propitious prestidigitation.

Hi Ex.

Was it Fox Mulder that said "nothing dissappears without a trace" ?

Perhaps I should live my life by the lessons learned from watching Quantum Leap and the X-Files... although of course that would mean saying "oh boy!" rather a lot.

Victoria said...

Tyler, a lot of the stuff I gave to Smith to keep. I told him it was too hard to have around but that if things ever worked I wanted them around. I did put the photos on a disc. Except for this one. *shrug*

Victoria said...

I don't remember that line Jonathan, but thanks for starting my day off so well....mmmmm Mulder. ; )

Plus? Quantum Leap ruled!
