Packing is the worst. It forces you to strip away all the layers of sentimentality: do I need this object? Do I have space for this object? I hate it hate it hate it and I'm so sorry you have to do it, too.
I also think that when you move away from home, this new source of confidence is born. When you're lonely, or when you're upset, you can always think 'back home there's a whole bunch of people who love me' or 'back home we all do it my way, so I'm not wrong'. Even if it's not exactly true. But closing the door on home and walking forward with its image in the back of your heart is something that gives me strength sometimes.
I absolutely love packing. I love moving. Because then I can get rid of all that useless shit that's wormed its way into my belongings. I don't keep photos, reminders, memories, I just throw everything away, I always leave blank walls. I think, when you're really down - you should leave. If it makes you feel the way it does and you don't want it, leave. Leaving is always a good choice.
And why doing things right or easy when you get the chance to do things your own way
( ... )
I just wanted to say this: you can do it. And sometimes, it's only as hard as we make it. Life's an adventure. Make the most of it. Don't let people hold you back even if, on occasion, you want them to.
I think that's it for the moment. I'm just coming out of a dark place so I'm probably a wellspring of optimism right now. So here, borrow some of mine. I mean every word, with every bit of my heart.
