An exercise in purging

I had arranged to give away my old laptop to my brother so I spent most of Sunday cleaning out my files. I stumbled upon lots of photos, archives of IM conversations, poems, ad infinitum. All from years ago when I was still sentimental enough to keep such cutesy patootsie stuff. Funny how it seemed like only yesterday when I got so burned by what happened. Then again the human heart does know how to self-heal, and time has a way of changing things and perspectives. I must confess though that I did hesitate for like two seconds if I should delete all that "documentation". In the end, I decided to exercise better judgment, and I am happy to report that the files have been flushed down the black abyss of oblivion.

I've got a new laptop now. Time for new memories :-)
