This time, not only do I really need to make space, I thought it would be a good time to get rid of even more stuff, make a somewhat fresh start. God knows that right now, I need to have the feeling of starting over.

Sitting here now, desk and shelves arranged in order with room to spare, the floor clear of rubbish, my mind feels a little clearer as well. This time, I got rid of absolutely anything I wouldn’t even take a second glance at – the last item from high school was a yearbook. That was the first to go. I’ve never ever looked at it, and hell, if I’m so inclined to kpc I can just borrow Marie’s. It’s insane that just yesterday I found letters Marie wrote to me in 2000. Today, she found letters I wrote to her back then. Confirm bff lah, beb.

I’ve even managed to clear a section of my closet just for flamenco gear. Believe me, the stuff has built up over the last two and a half years. Having space for all the paraphernalia that come with flamenco is fabulous. No more digging through one overflowing drawer after another.

Music kept me company as I sat surrounded by chaos. Quite a few times, WinAmp would shuffle to Mary Poppins Original London Cast songs. That really made me miss London, for some strange reason.

I hope that tonight, I’ll sleep with a clear mind.
