**This might be in the wrong section but I dunno**

I have a few things that were connected to my last boyfriend that I've put into a box. We sent each other Christmas cards last year. I ripped that up.. twice.. and I put it in there. I had little diary entries about him.. and they're in there too. Drawings, the original card I was going to send him but didn't, an unsent letter, and a ring we used to joke around as some "engagement" ring. All are in there.

My little shoulder angel is telling me I should get rid of the contence of it. But.. I don't want to and I can't really explain why. Maybe it's me holding on.. But I don't really think it is because I never go through it or look at it unless I'm adding something to it.. and even then I won't look I'll just open it, drop whatever in there, close it and the box is hidden again in a place where I cannot see.

I don't understand myself with this box full of memories. I've managed to do everything else (delete him and all chat history, etc.) and it will be exactly 7 weeks tomorrow since we broke up.. But it's these physical items.. They're lingering..
