The power of simplicity

A lot has happened the past few weeks. I moved out of the house and back in with my parents, which isn't the ideal situation but it's a quick solution to the on-going problem. I wished it could've been solved differently, but for now it will do. This week the bank has given us the document we needed in order to put the house up for sale, so it looks like we're finally making some progress again.

And what else am I to do on a sunny Saturday afternoon other than browsing through (old) photos, and being amazed why I hadn't realized before how big I'd gotten?! I was pretty huge, to say the least. Shocking! Something else what's quite shocking was the emotions I felt while looking at these pictures, and all of a sudden I came up with a quote:

"When memories are fading it doesn't mean they're not worth remembering, it just means I'm making space for new experiences to be stored on my hard drive."

Just this morning I was thinking about wanting to come up with a quote to share with others, but I didn't have any inspiration and my mind was blank. And then the above popped in to my head, which I considered worth sharing. And it says a lot actually because I have an incredible ability to remember, so it's like my hard drive can store 4 terabyte and there's really no need to be forgetting things, but I've decided to move them to the back anyway. There's no use in looking back anymore, though I treasure the memories and the experiences, it's time to make space for new ones. Besides, it motivates me to keep saying 'yes' to invites 'cause what's the fun of an empty hard drive anyway?
