The Past Is Dead Its taken weeks. I've shredded every document, clipping, photo or peice of...

paper thats older than 5 years old. That's at least 30 years worth of things I've saved for sentimental reasons. Gone- Every letter, card, photo or contact from my ex-wife. Gone- Every letter, e-mail, note or whatever from anyone else. Gone- Countless other things that had been stuffed away for years. Never again do I have to wory that somebody might find a 25 year old letter and hold me responsible for whatever somebody I haven't seen in decades wrote. Never again will I have a weekend ruined becuase a photo of a cat fell out of somewhere with a cute note written on it from somebody I used to know. Never again do I have to worry on and on that something that happened so very long ago will pop back into my memory because I saw that letter or whatever. Never again will I forget something painful, only to have it brought back to life by accident. The Ghosts have all gone away.
