Remnants of HER past - Letters and odd things

[Nightspark]

i was just wondering as i was cleaning up all the pictures we had and sh*t she left behind, do you DJs keep the letters and stuff (like ribbons... [dont ask!]) that urr Ex's wrote or left behind...

or do u burn them in some sorta sacrificial voodoo method ? =)

just wondering if this is a method of forgetting the EX, even though i dont have a problem in forgetting her now =)

keeping stuff that reminds you of past relationships makes you look back on them. Its like taking a stroll in the park where you had your first kiss with a girl. It brings back a strong emotional feeling.

I still keep all my stuff tho...good memories

Movie tickets, even a chocolate truffle wrapping

I think you should keep stuff then you can look back at past relationships and realise why they didnt work and learn from it.

I've thrown out things which I was given by past girlfriends and since regretted it.

I think it is best to put them away somewhere where you are not going to see them all the time.

I only had two girlfriends I really felt stongly for. Their photos, letters, stuff they gave me is still around. Good times, good memories.
The other ones that were around long enough for physical artifacts to remain -well, that stuff was not just chucked, but burned, shredded, destroyed with enthusiasm. Bad memories. Good riddance.

I'll keep a few photos around, but things like Birthday cards and love letters are tossed out... a nice little bonfire actually.

LOL Don't know about voodoo, but it helps with not wanting to go back to the ex.

I have the stuff from my last serious g/f. She was a part of my life at one point, why pretend it never happenned?
