I often think of clearing the clutter in my room, empty the drawer of unwanted knick knacks, pack off old clothes to somewhere, clean out the closet and make space for new girly paraphernalia.
But each time I spill out the contents of the drawer, I spot little reminences of old days.
My favorite bracelet when i turned 18, the one i used to wear with all outfits not caring whether it matched or not. The stuffy brown teddy with a red bow and missing buttons. The cute red Hannah Montana t-shirt which i keep convincing will fit me one day. The eight standard collage work mounted on a thick cardboard sheet, hung behind the door, now frayed around the corners. Old playing cards with which we spent many a interesting summer afternoons. Stacks of old cards received during past Birthdays and Christmas seasons stowed away in a plastic bag, each bringing with it some recollection of old days. Friendships bands collected over the college years..messages written over some of them. And so on.
It's a whole assortment of unwanted but yet too precious to lose stuff hidden behind the neat, polished closet doors. Maybe i just need to get another cupboard, rather than clean the existing one :P
