Goodbye and thank you typewriter

Moving is serious business, I'm gradually parting with objects and memories and emotions keep surfacing as I post on Facebook Marketplace.

I got the typewriter many years ago because it reminded me of my grandfather, who always wrote on one; all his work was done there, and it's where I ended up writing my school assignments. It was so much fun for me to write on my grandfather's typewriter. I found the typewriter in a charity shop. Today, I understand it was a symbol of roots connecting me to my childhood and my passion for writing.

Attachments... , that attachment to the memory of my grandfather, my history, and my childhood.

Today, I saw the number of kitchen towels I have at home and wondered, why do I have so many?

I thought about the avocado plant I put up for sale for £35 and someone offered me £15, and ANOTHER £20, I must confess it greatly annoys me when people haggle with me. Do you think it's worth that? And I thought about all that has gone into growing this avocado plant, or what the pot cost me. But in the business world, you understand that supply and demand win. To hell with the emotion and the effort put into growing x thing.

Today I came to the conclusion that you simply have to understand that there are things that will serve you in certain periods and then you have to let go of everything with gratitude, without attachments. Goodbye and thank you :)

The move has made me express emotions I had never explored before, like anger. I didn't know I had repressed anger in my body until this Sunday when it surfaced.

I'm not a reactive person, but for the first time, I've had anger that I'm glad is coming out. Last night I did an exercise I learned in the first women's circle I attended and that Marina reminded me of on my birthday.

I guess it's the discomfort of change, transformation, and letting go again. Goodbye and thank you!!!

Turning the old into art. Typewriter transformed into art by an Italian. Memory of my trip to Milan, May 2022

Today, I'm not just getting rid of the typewriter and the avocado plant, but also of a couple of emotions that are surfacing as I clean the house, and I'm transforming myself. Everything that no longer serves me, I decide to transform into art and evolution.

When was the last time you cleaned your house of objects? Is it hard for you to let go? How is your childhood room? Do you feel discomfort, pain when walking so lightly through life?

Goodbye and thank you
