Listening to: mfh
Feeling: liberated
While I was cleaning, I found my Wreck This Diary. I started flipping through the pages, remembering all the wrecking and destroying that happened to that book. I read a few of the pages, and was surprised when I found the "Inner Monologue" page on which I had written a long reflection on Myles and I's relationship. Reluctantly, I read through it, wincing at how I could have such strong feelings for such a wicked person.
It started me thinking about our past, and I had to try my hardest not to remember.
I wanted those memories gone. Forever. I went to my window sill and grabbed a box of matches and my handheld, broken mirror. I ripped the page into 8 pieces, and scattered this next to the mirror.
I lit the first eighth on fire, and watched it burn, trying to let myself burn my emotions along with the message written on the paper. As the pieces turned to ashes, I continued to add paper to feed the flames.
One by one, I watched them burn amidst the flicker of the flames. And with each pieces burned, more and more of my hurt emotions burned away with them.
After a few minutes, and 7 matches, the letter was finally completely ashes.
I've never felt better.
