Fly, future self, be free
Aug. 23rd, 2016 09:47 amToday's Wondermark amuses me because I'm totally that guy in the last panel.
When something ends for me, I'm generally pretty quick to expunge mementos of it from my daily life. I get the idea that someday I'll want to look back on things; I keep digital photos (but not on my phone), and I've got a thick paper folder called "Memories" where things sometimes go that I can't stand to look at but will want to someday.
But shit does not stay around the house. I usually do that sort of removal as part of dealing with the change, while it's still fresh in my mind... so I don't see it as cold and unemotional. I'm just trying to give my future self a chance to live in her world instead of in mine.
