Things

I was just rummaging through the odds and ends from earlier this year and the end of last year that I have been meaning to sort out. Stuff that comes from my pockets when I come back to school. Bits of paper with what seemed at the time important ( I wouldn't have kept them otherwise), straw hearts, book marks, random name tags, little souvenirs, bits of ribbon and stuff like that. I was sorting through the little pile, deciding what to keep, what to throw. I kept most of the knick knacks and souvenirs. But most of the little notes went right into the bin. Stuff that I had written down that was important before but not now, things that have been decided for me. Memories that I once held dear but not anymore.

I wonder why at the time I didn't discard all those stuff. Might have partly been due to my laziness or something, but maybe those were things I wanted to keep at the time. But then now it's not important anymore, for some reason or another. Some things are always important, but the importance of other things changes from time to time. There are memories I can choose to forget, yet there are some that I'll always hold on to, be it bitter or sweet. I might not make sense, And I might not have gotten my point across.

And I guess I've chosen to move on from some things. Other things, never. Still holding on to memories cos its the only thing you have left you'll never get to relive it again.
