    easier, i think for me than many others to 'let goi' as i wasa military brat and moved constantly, and continued to do so well inot adulthood-thus i'vce lived in 60+ different places, attened over a dozen schools, and never have more than a small circle of freinds. Sometimes i feel like the Paul Simon song: 'i am a rock, i am an island...i touch no one and noone touches me', but inevitably, some sneak into my inner circle. But i think (there's that word again) I'm fairly realistic about their place in my world. Does that make losing them any easier? No. But it helps me move on quicker.
    I had a flood in '96-lost alot of books, pictures, and other items-really made me realize better what i thought I already knew: things are transitory, and we are all things...

    I was looking for somethind like this in order to help me deal with my mother :? Alcoholic, pathological liar, the list goes on.
    When we were kids we moved around a heck of a lot. I never really had any 'things' of my own. You know the things the other kids had? fav books, dolls, toys, games, ... For a long time I was bothered by that, but really, what are 'things' anyway? My brother and I had each other to keep us sane, and I think that is all that we ever really needed.

    We moved alot as a kid-military family at first, then later just unhappy and unsettled-got to the point where i didnt even unpack my stuff for years, slept in my clothes...and when i finally moved out on my own, it was hard to stop moving...finally just threw boxes and boxes of stuff away without opening it, and havent missed it to this day...now my house is 90% books and toys, little else, and when i move this summer to a bigger place, it'll be to have more room (and a yard), not more 'stuff'...
    I also ditched my parents along the way, but thats another story...
