Yay, It’s Garbage Day
Last week on wednesday, was garbage day. After being rudely imposed upon by an OLD client recently - I finally gathered the guts to toss all of my archives associated to the relationship into the bin.
Just shortly before the garbage truck arrived, i received a phone call but I didn’t pick it up, to then find out it was a good thing that I didn’t - because it panned out to be a mobile number that i once used to know off-by-heart …but had only just begun to forget what it was in my life now. Very strange for my brain to hear the numbers announce themselves as I wrote them on the paper, thinking;
“Gee, this sequence is starting to look familiar!”
So… old client tried to make contact, didn’t get through …and minutes later, the garbage truck finally arrives.
It made such a lovely short film in my head, saying “goodbye” to the “responsibility”. The CDs crying for help,
“Ayca! You can’t do this to us! You’re supposed to take care of us! How can you do this to us!”
and oh how they screamed!
..so poignant, to see the garbage truck take such a huge load out of my hands that day.

Oh, I really LOVED to see this!!! Goodbye responsibility always feels so darn gooooood when you finally has come to the determination! *giggles*
R’acquel: Yes, indeed! *lol* It scared me, but i got over it and it felt really good when the garbage truck took care of the dirty business for me!

I bet you must be feeling very relieved now to have gotten rid of them! Good riddance to them! Sayonara!
HAHAHAHA! I love the gesture you showed to your CDs. Classic!

This sounds like a good way to practice some detachment!
R’acquel: Thanks, this made me laugh as i’m having a truly rough day on the whole detachment thing today. The client i was dealing with at the time was one hell of a fire-breathing dragon so it was a real trial for me to engage in my “fuck off”-isms to stop that caring-too-much shit. The tossing of the CDs was indeed a very big and intense thing for me to do, and it’s made me laugh because of how funny it was to see the garbage truck take care of things for me. That’s what i need to do now, just visualise a garbage truck as a metaphor to help me LET GO!
