I need a resolution

My one and only resolution of 2008: Keep the big things and let go of the small ones. -
I’m very, very sentimental. I collect physical traces of my memories, like pictures, Starbucks cups, napkins and receipts. Even SMS messages - my cellphone inbox is full of old text messages that I can’t bear to delete. If I absolutely have to get rid of them, for the sake of incoming ones, I write them down first. I have pretty sharp memory, but still, I want to remember everything - down to the nittiest and grittiest detail. But if there’s one thing I learned in 2007, it’s that not everything is worth remembering. That’s what short-term memory is for. It’s fun to look back at them, but soon enough these things won’t matter anymore, so there’s no point to holding onto them. Leave the past where it belongs. Besides, that’ll just take up the space that newer experiences should be occupying.
There are just some things you have to let go.
