On Our Ex's Leftovers
Craigslist Garage Sale.
When you build a relationship with someone, you inevitably collect things that - if and when you part ways - end up sticking around for a while thereafter. That recycled framed art he gave you for Christmas 2003; those bed sheets you picked out together the summer Ikea first opened in Red Hook; the kitchen table he surprised you with when you got back from overseas; the crystal from his first engagement. And with each new beginning, you debate over what to keep and what to toss, based on good and bad memories, price tag comparisons, and how you define new beginnings. Enjoy!
