Isn’t it that we tend to accumulate stuff as the years progress? And it seems like we can’t seem to let go of even the most ancient of our belongings.
For instance, here at home, we have our old kitchen which now looks like a storage room with piles of boxes, tools, worn out furniture, broken appliances and so many junk lurking around. I’m just thankful that Dad cleaned up our garage coz it used to look so messy too with some piled up chairs needing repair. We also have an abandoned shed house in our front yard which is also full of our belongings. And when I look at some of the old things in my room, I am also tempted to just put them all in a bag and give them away.
But then again, you just don’t easily throw old stuff like you do with garbage. Organizing is a must and each item has to be evaluated, whether you can still recycle it, give it to somebody or ultimately throw it in the trash.
I guess the dilemma of deciding which stuff to let go and which to keep comes from our attachment to them, because through them, we keep the memories alive. But as time moves on, these treasured pieces of letters, souvenirs and mementos fade or worn, and we have no other choice but ultimately to let go and just let the memories live in our hearts.

Ideas are powerful. A train of thought can make or break, build or destroy. The choice is ours. Our ideas become our future. I believe that life’s meaningful lessons are best learned when shared with others.
