Spring Cleaning…. 10 years ago

So I’m doing some major cleaning and throwing away. I’m finding ALL the notes I’ve kept from girls that have written me in high school. I can’t believe I still have them. I’m throwing them away, but not without reading some! It’s crazy how stupid we were in high school, lol. Throwing around “I love you” like we knew what we were talking about. I feel like going back and telling my old self that you have no idea what you’re talking about. But I remember thinking I knew it all.

So even now, I think I know what I’m talking about. But in 10 more years I’ll probably look back and think “you were so stupid”.

It’s crazy. There’s so much I don’t remember. So many things I just have a vague concept of what happened… and who knows how distorted that memory is? I wish I could see everything for how it is and nothing else. But everything everyone experiences is distorted by their perceptions. Thus is life.

Crazy how things pan out!

    So… you actually kept the physical notes? You are such a romantic! (or weird, I don’t know)

    Or are these the ones you told me you were going to delete from your computer? All the women you talked to on the internet…?

    I guess that wouldn’t have been when you were 15, though…

    I did that about two years ago…I couldn’t believe I had all those notes!!! I still have all the corsages I ever got in high school. My mom keeps asking me to get rid of them.
