as time passes on some things in life passes by their best-before date. And it becomes time to let go. it can be hard, and it can be easy. man is a creature of habit, and habits can be hard to break. It turns into a circle of comfort, something easy and well-known. So i have maintained some web pages, and some services, for years. I did the magazine for years. and i need to exercise the let-go muscles.
it is good to do it. it equals cleaning out your closet of heavy memories. so it turns into a cleansing activity. and pride before fall, how silly i am! to cling to notions of fairness. to expect a fair treatment, som recognition of work done. forget that. it is not forthcoming. so, time to move on.

Most people seem to take pictures only at their holidays, and at birthdays and when someone marries. That makes for an odd archive of your life, doesn't it? Likewise most news, and a huge portion of blogs focuses on accidents and large disasters. No, i don't think we should pretend there aren't problems, but this hung-uppedness of the tragedy of life makes for a very odd archive of our lives, doesn't it?
