Clearing out things that remind you of him

If i could, I'd throw away/donate every piece of clothing I wore when I was with him, I'd get rid of every single piece of furniture we had contact with together, blow up all the places we've ever been to. But that's not always possible right.

So many things can remind you of the person that you loved so much but broke your heart. It is often the little objects, meaningful things that don't even cost much that hurt you so much to look at. I've not been thorough in getting rid of stuff that belong to him and presents he gave me. So yesterday, as I was clearing my room, I found this

I believe the best way to heal your broken heart is to do whatever feels right for you. If you'll feel better burning all the clothes he left in your house, do it. If you need to stick pins in a voodoo doll, do it. If you need to write a hate letter and tear it up, do it. 

While I handed the presents he gave me to the garbage man, I forgot about this key holder that I bought for both of us. Mine was pink and his was blue. Yupp I can say byebye to it now. Just needed to look at it, feel the emotions and then move on. 

I like to think that our emotions are kept in the objects around us. So the emotions you have towards a person is held partly in the items related to that person. So as much as i think it's a very pretty bling keychain, I'm gonna bin it and bin the feelings of holding on/ waiting for him. 

I still keep some things from our relationship that I'm not ready to give up yet. But that's ok. 

Do you still own anything that reminds you of him/her but feel more ready to get rid of now ? If you answered Yes, go do it now !
