Clean Your Garage

You don’t need that s*%$ anymore!

Anybody whose ever moved from one place to another (for whatever reasons) knows the struggle of separation. We keep things we think we’ll need but ultimately, just end up throw them away in another place.

I’ve moved several times in my adult life. Like you, I’ve carried things that I thought I’d need in the future. Just this morning as I was cleaning up the “shop” I kept coming across misc. items and tools that I knew had value at one point but were only kept for the “just in case” scenarios.

Then it hit me, JUST IN CASE has and will never come.

The percentage of times that my “emergency” parts have been useful is minimal. So it begs the question; why keep it around?

Of garages and pain

When we move on from places we carry things. We do the same when we move on from people/relationships. We are able to bring along a lot of good memories, but conversely, we also have pain that tags along.

Just as we can recall the jokes, we can still hear the arguments. Generally, the tears of joy are vastly outnumbered by the tears of hurt and betrayal. The same person who could make you laugh also made you cry.
