Letting go

Aged about 18-20 I was this lonely boy who loved Barbra Streisand. So I collected all the stuff I could find about her, meaning many years later I own over thirty books about her and other stuff besides. The thing is, it is all in a box and never looked at anymore. I no longer cherish this stuff. Idealistically I would put the lot of EbAY and watch it fly away and receive some cash. But I know I am never going to do that- I don't want to be working out the postage costs for a start. Last September I asked the vet to euthanise my beloved elderly cat, despite the vet offering a treatment plan. How come I let go of my bestie so easily yet this dusty pile of books is making me anxious? Should I just do it , take them to a charity store? Have you collected things and later found them a burden? I shall never collect vast amounts of things again.

Yeah I've had things that remind me of certain people before and sometimes it is hard to let go but sometimes it becomes a question of Mental Health. I too had to not only take a cat to the vet to have a euthanized I had to almost put one down myself but at the last minute I couldn't do it poor little booger he broke my heart but thank God my friend was with me Leon County Sheriff Deputy at the time he told me to walk away and I did and he took care of that talk about a real hard day
