Clearing

Every once a while, I decide to rid my computer of excess stuff because of a space crunch. I realised that no matter how valuable anything seems when it's created, if you give it enough time it eventually becomes redundant.

I found a folder which I have time and again debated whether to keep or to delete. It's of no value to me being a folder of photographs from my ex boyfriends camera, but I wondered if a day came when he asked for those, and I didn't have them, would I appear to be a spiteful former lover whose heart is filled with so much hate that she didn't even considering asking him to take it away?
BUT then I thought that if he wanted those photos, he would have asked for them by now, seeing as it's been nearly two years since he called things off between us, and I am not bothered about what the world thinks about me anymore. So, I've deleted the folder, and any regrets about the said deed. 


While clearing I also came across some long forgotten stuff. For instance - this time I found a word document called 'freedom' and when I opened it, there were only these two lines typed in there:

"Freedom costs nothing. But only when you're born unshackled. 
The biggest and strongest shackles are those which come with being a flower child of the urban types."
 
I wonder what I was writing about and what it meant when I wrote it, but there's some truth to it. I shall remember someday...
