tonight i attempted to sort through the 68 banana boxes containing most of my belongings from the first fifteen years of my life. a multitude of stuff i haven't seen in over ten years. about a third of it was easy to toss or get rid of. the rest is going in to short term storage while i sort through it. sell, keep, toss.

it's strange to think about how my mother and i hardly know each other. it's stranger to think about how in about a year, she'll be living on maui, and if ever things come up in my life like weddings or babies (none on the horizon at present, mind you), whether she'll be involved. i guess i've got about a year to figure it out. perhaps.
