But I think I became ...I have lost important stuff. But I think I became the opposite after my mom died. Long story short, I was boxed out pretty much anything of my mother's. I had to think of it as "just. stuff.". I read Mackenzie Phillips memoir and in it she talks about a wildfire that claimed all her mementos of her father. It was just gone. But she wasn't hurt and didn't die. Something about it clicked for me. It's all just. stuff. Even things that are sentimental. Some day we get old and die and then what- someone else may not find it sentimental. It will be just stuff. So I've changed my mindset to - it just doesn't matter.<br /><br /> I also found out my mom confessed to her best friend that she threw away something very sentimental of mine by accident years ago. I was looking for it for 15 years! Meanwhile it's gone. Life hasn't changed any. I'd have liked to have it but in reality, it's not that important. <br /><br />I'm sorry about your video though. I know what it's like. tsdkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189079795462754389noreply@blogger.com
