Make it as personal as you can. Believe me, you can't imagine a feeling everyone hasn't had. Make it personal. Tell the Truth.
And then write 'Burn This' on it.
-Burton (Burn This by Lanford Wilson)

Well, cleaning up in order to pack in order to move always does one thing -- it digs up the old memories burried at the bottom of your desk drawer. Not in a bad way, or really a good way, or really any way more than, 'oh, look at that, my life.' old letters from Rachel, and Emily, and Melissa... And bank statements? *throws out the bank statements* It's an intersting feeling, at least for me. Old letters are like old pictures, but better I think -- letters hold their own memories, inscribed on the paper. pictures only call up memories and, as nice as they are, they aren't very reliable. At least, not for me.

I'll have to go back and read all of these. Remember where I've been.
