Agreed. Regardless of where you live, personal clutter is a mainstay of many people's lives. I have lots of little pockets of them, but this was a major one that was temporally proportional to an Egyptian tomb: it hadn't been touched in a quarter of my life. It was weird emptying all that shit out, but I expected it, like I said, to be highly emotional. I hadn't seen alot of those things, thought about them, or the people they related to in a long time. Imagine digging up a collection of high school papers Smoke, and tell me it wouldn't raise strong feelings including nostalgia, happiness, and disapointment. Even if you chose to lie to yourself and say that it was so, I wouldn't believe you.
Two side notes: Im on pace to move out of here by September. One year of living at home after 5 years of independence has been enough to destory every last shread of self-esteem and self-respect I might have once had. Also, nice attempt to peg me, but any issues I might have go well beyond my mother.
