I just really want all of it out of my house. I'll pack it really well, very nice and neat. Labeled and everything. I'm not angry about having to do this, I just need to start moving on.

It hurts that I have to do this, but I know it is necessary. I know a lot of people here pack up their WAS sh!t out of anger but I don't think I'm that way right now. The past 3 days of little contact with her has given me a little more clarity.

I'm just sad that I have to do it. So, I'll bring home some boxes today from work and start the process. She's trying to move forward, I should be too. She's made it very clear that she can't work on a relationship with me right now. I have to be OK with that.

This is just one more step towards trying to detach and move on. It hurts, but it's a necessary hurt.


I really hope when you start this, you don't find the sh!t I found. I started out nice and neat then after my findings just started piling everything in any space that would fit. My intentions at the start were honorable though, if that counts. smile
