Baggage..so much baggage

While JU was down yesterday... and it was down all day! It seemingly died in the ass and became non existent, so I spent most of the day going through things and packing.

What a rollercoaster ride that was!

I never realised how much stuff I had been carrying with me from place to place ever since I was a kid. There was old school work, journals, letters, birthday cards, old accounts and bills. So much stuff that I don't need and don't want to carry with me anymore. It brought up a whole range of emotions. At one stage I was sobbing while I was reading a letter from my ex about how much he loved me but it was time to let go.

At the end I had thrown out four boxes full of stuff. It felt really draining, and I just had to stop.

I guess this baggage that we carry with us from place to place attaches itself to us emotionally and is sort of like a ball and chain around our feet. So it's time to get rid of the baggage and travel lightly.
