Fly, future self, be free

Today'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.
