That's so very true. It hurts to throw away something memorable, even if it is trivial and without value. It also hurts to be without a true place to call home, for that matter...

Was this done for a story that's being published or just random inspiration? Either way I think it's a very well done scene that captures the quote below very well.

thats an awsome pic! i love it

a wise person, someone who's opinion i value greatly, once told me that we keep objects to maintain memories. But those objects are not neccessary, it's the memory that's important, the object is just an organized collective of atoms, but the memory is a true gift. The thing is, do you need to object to keep the memory? Usually no. Memories last forever.

I like your art it's so sensitive and emotional...

something I'm never able to do

I've been there, I think we all have some time in our life.

The worst is regretting throwing away something later.

i love the way the wall fades out and the outline of the pictures on the wall. amazing job

it's the hardest part...you don't want to throw something that closely tied to yourself away even if is tied to something that hurts...just remember, both good experiences and bad experiences are still experiences, take all that you can from them and then move on...

Great pic, great anecdote.

Excellent job! Keep up the great work!

it's always hard to forget things

even better, especially if things ended hostily, or if it was just a particularly painful breakup....burning them. it helps...a lot. just...seeing all those old things crumble away...knowing that there can be a new beginning rising up from the ashes...

I personally think its better to have a tougher point of view at such things, course Im a guy so things like friends are differnt for me, but still.

The only regretfull memory should be one you learn absolutely nothing from.
You gain something from every memory and learn and grow from it, but if you simply let it pass you by and never allow yourself to learn from it, then that memory's worth will have been lost.

I would keep such items as a reminder of what good came from it and what mistakes I made. Something to strengthen myself in the future. Why didnt this work out and why was this so great? They are memories you lived and can never be replaced be them good or bad. I beleive its best to make the most out of those memories.
However, if you've already been through that thought and it still holds you back and your simlpy hurt. If you truely cant overcome that reminder then sometimes it is best to throw those items out and help reenforce the better memories you had without the bad memories that keep you back.
That however all depends on the person and their choice of course.

Nice art as always. You always do the emotions well.

i did this very thing not too long ago

lovely peice and quite telling

peace and love
