The thing about packing your room is that sometimes, you find things you don't expect to find. Some things which have been shelved away into some dark corner in your room, and your memory. But when you find it once again, there're just a few reactions one can expect to have.

Firstly, you can look at it with disdain, then throw it away because it doesn't matter to you anymore.

Or you can be reminded of the past, not in a bad way and think about what you had, and put it back in the dark corner where it belongs.

Lastly, you can keep it in some prominent part of your room and be reminded all the time, thinking of the 'what could have beens' which might serve to torment yourself.

Maybe that's why I don't like packing, because much more time is taken to decide which of these 3 options I should take rather than the actual packing itself. And sometimes the right decision isn't made. Or finding space in my room/memory to store it.

Too bad there're no IKEAS for memories. Thank goodness for IKEAS for physical spaces though.
