cthulhiaNot so much the disembodied spooks of horror movies, but more the impeding memories contained within objects, the stuff of sappy oscar bait. I have my share of ghosts.
What exactly are you keeping in "storage"? and why?
letters, menus, pasts that need to be buried or given to someone else for reincarnation?
spiritual housecleaning, exorcism.
She's prepping us for the onorous task of cleaning out closets and getting rid of things we don't use but feel were too much of an investment to just purge, especially clothing, especially anything that looks useful but doesn't get used.
Right now, specifically, I am wondering how much of my apartment will have to go if![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
srakkt doesn't come back (and intact) from the sandbox. Fewer difficult memories may be my only reason to be grateful he never spent the night (once I moved to this address). Although, I kinda hope he returns to fix that. We can invite a hamsterpile, and watch Sifl and Olly all night.
I don't know what would actually speed the process. When he crosses my mind now without some external prompting; email, mentions in other LJs, accidentally going to a news site, seeing his unit/squad on the front page of the newspapers on the T (none of him yet, that I can tell) I begin to freak -- wondering if there was some significant psychic thing happening at exactly that moment.
I can't ponder that and be functional.
The papers start to look like all the WWII era newspapers I used for my history column, back when I had one... ten (10) years ago. This does not feel like my world anymore.
