But you're sure you could be right.

I have this thing I keep up on the top shelf of my closet, shoved in the left corner, probably covered and hidden by numerous long-forgotten t-shirts that have never even been worn. I call it my boyfriend box

I have something for you.

[megan_dfox]

Is it a restraining order? ;) I texted you earlier, I wanted to yesterday but I was out of it.

[phillippe_mr]

Ha no. Based on your icons, I went searching. It's my turn to stalk you. I'm going to text you right after this comment.

[megan_dfox]

Ajdhskjd, oh my god, you weren't kidding about the stalking! ;) Texted back.

I have a box like that, that as I've gotten older has gotten fuller with old letters, movie ticket stubs, playbills from college productions we had worked on together, all sorts of mismatched memorabilia that's significant only for the reasons I've assigned them. My parent's didn't have to crack down as hard on me when it came to boys as they did my older sister; even at sixteen, I wasn't blown away by any of the guys I knew, and all my guy friends had become so much like part of my extended family that it would have been just plain awkward had any one of them tried anything.

My parents were less hard on my older sister than they were on me, for some reason. I think she was just always more grounded than I was in general and I had my mind made up about a lot of things so I was harder to keep under control. I guess I was just more of a brat so they set down different rules for me or something just to keep me from being crazy.

I loe that you keep the reminders of past relationships, especially when so many opt to forget based on broken hearts. They're more lessons for the future, I've always thought.

[megan_dfox]

I agree with that. I've never really wanted to throw things out just because my heart was broken or the relationship went the wrong way. I did burn pictures once but I had such regret afterward that I swore I'd never do that out of haste again. The anger wasn't worth the memory lost from it, at all.

I think everyone should keep some sort of box like that about their past loves. It's a way to remember the good with people we've known than the heartbreak associated instead. I keep something like that for past loves and another for friends that I've lost touch with as well.

[megan_dfox]

I think it's so great that sentiment hasn't been lost to people over the years because it seems so hard to find from people anymore, I kind of felt like a nerd for keeping the box for as long as I have but I really do feel I'll want to have it forever. And you're right, keeping those things did make a couple of the break-ups easier down the line when I had evidence of the better times spent before the ends.

Okay and what unspeakable things do I watch, miss reality tv addict? Wait maybe I don't want you to answer that.

I'm really glad you're able to come with me, even if it is going to be kinda insane. It'll be nice just knowing that you are there.

[megan_dfox]

Hey! I am not an addict! That much. And I would never answer that in public, I would be too embarrassed for you. ;) Just kidding, please don't kick me out.

And I'm really happy to be here with you. The being busy isn't that bad. I'll take you where I can get you.
