live through this, and you won't look back.

This is my memory box.

I’ve been stuffing things in here since I was about 14. It’s a mixture of pictures, movie tickets, stickers, poetry, happiness, tears, and anguish.

Tonight, for the first time, i’m taking every memory of every person I have in there that has made me upset, and am not associated with anymore, and burning it all. I’m not going to lie, going through this tonight has made me very emotional, (all pms-ing aside.) and has made me realize that most of these memories aren’t good ones, and that it’s time to burn these memories and make new ones.

I won’t be throwing everything away, i’ll mostly throw away anything that my exes have given me, along with a couple pictures of friendships that turned bitter.

I want to look in my memory box and be happy, not run into something I completely forgot about and cry until I have to snap myself back together.

And hopefully, when i’m older I will be able to sit down at my dinner table with a cup of coffee and look at these things with my wife. I’ll share some stories with her and i’ll smile. I won’t find any poems from exes confessing their “love” for me, I won’t find any pictures with my tear drops soaked into them, I won’t find anything that’ll make me unhappy.

I’m letting go of memories that should have been let go of years ago, and i’m going to fill my box with my life now. A much better, happier life.
