ReplyDeleteAs someone who moved to the UK from California (7 years ago!), a good tip I disccovered for getting rid of stuff is (if possible) take a picture of it. I was very surprised how just seeing a picture of something I once owned made me feel like it was still with me.
First off, Josh, glad to help you with your Golf Track continuing education certs. Keep ‘em coming!
ReplyDeleteY’all’s conversation about getting rid of stuff struck a chord with me, and it’s a wistful one. I have gotten rid of incredibly meaningful things, but due to my randomly selective memory, forgotten later. The tantalizing torture of trying to find something lost is only made worse when I realize that I decided at some point that I didn’t need the totem I’m searching for.
The most painful things I’ve ever chosen to get rid of are the letters of correspondence I had with a girl I’ve mentioned here before. We developed a deep friendship and esteem for each other, but I was heading into a time of personal darkness, and I knew I couldn’t drag her down with me.
I kept the letters to remind me of the deep sense of loss I carried, and to look back on what might have been. Years later, when I married my wife, I got rid of the letters. If I was to be faithfully dedicated to the woman I intended to spend my life with, it seemed counterproductive to hold onto memories of someone long gone. And, when I was being completely honest, I knew those letters represented a secret hope of resurrecting something long dead.
As it turns out, letting go of those letters didn’t diminish the memories or longing. In fact, and this ties into that wise statement Em mentioned, the sense of loss only intensified. Even more than before, I am keenly aware of what no longer exists.
It's painful for me to remember selling my copy of Final Fantasy X. Somehow I convinced myself that I wouldn't have any further need for it since I hadn't played it in a while, and I should use the money to pay down my credit card. I sold a lot of other games with it for the same reason, including A Link to the Past.
ReplyDeleteNow that my youngest children are old enough to play games like Chrono Trigger independently (!!) I wish I'd hung on to FFX. Fortunately, we'll have the SNES Classic as a replacement for the other games I sold.
Wow, Josh, I had forgotten about our “co-selection”! That Flappy Golf track really made my day. And Emily, your head canon of Josh and me sightseeing on a double decker bus was hilarious and endearing.
