I've been card shopping, watch out

I used to save cards that were momentos, but those friends are long gone, lovers are gone, etc. And I've just not been interested in keeping them anymore. They get out of sight out of mind and take up space. Once in a while I'll find something I missed that I haven't tossed out, I'll reread it , laugh or cry and then off to the trash they go. I don't get cards in the mail much, mostly given to me for my bday from a couple friends, or mom. I just don't see the point in keeping them anymore.

I saved special cards from my girlfriends, my daughters, my father, erotica written by my long-term ex (she was a great writer) that was tucked into cards that she hand-made (she was also a great artist), etc., etc.

I had files full of everything special to me.

When I prepped my house for sale, I threw all of it out.

I kept thinking about my girls and GF having to go through all of that stuff when I either needed a higher level of care as I aged or when I died and I realized that for me, I did not need to hold onto any of it anymore.

I wanted to be the one that got rid of it and I didn't want my daughters reading the erotica written about me either.
