Moving. Out with the old.

What an interesting life it is for a sentimental person when it becomes time to move. You go through all of these things that meant the world to you a decade ago but haven't seen since, but now that you've remembered the good times attached to them you don't want to let them go. It was hard for me to toss or give away allot of the things that represented my childhood, but I knew it was necessary to let go. In case you're unaware I'm a big fan of legacy. Just things that survive the test of time, things that you pass down that live beyond your years. But at the same time things that you once loved often become nothing but dust collectors and clutter. I suppose i learned allot of things from this move. Although I threw away allot of things that represented my childhood, I wasn't throwing away my childhood. I still have the memories of building ninja castles and space ships with my Lego's and I still have the memories of setting up my entire collection of literally thousands of army men. :P Just because those Lego's are going to be used by someone else or my favorite water gun is no longer collecting dust in the basement doesn't mean that I discarded the times that those items were connected with. I will never not be sentimental, but at the same time it was a good lesson for me to not be to attached to items that you know you will never use and probably never even see again. The best is always yet to come when you're following God. :D Until next time.

I was a huge army man fanatic back in the day. :P
