About six months ago when (without notice) my brother sold the house and property where I had previously been living. I had to return and then try to sort, pack, sell, and giveaway all my possessions in three weeks. I felt like I was related to a total stranger...
I made alot of mistakes because I was in a hurry, and I ended up losing some things I really valued simply because I had no storage facilities. I thought that it was going to come to blows, but eventually I realized that material things are not important. Family is. My brother had reasons for his actions, and even though I didn't agree with his technique, I had to put up with his decision. (We did part as friends).
Because I was forced to get rid of so many things, it was a good wake-up call to me--to show me how materialistic I had become. There was no way I could take it all back with me and it forced me to evaluate the things I wanted to keep. I held on to what meant the most to me and gave away, donated, or threw out the rest. It was liberating in a way to be free of all that stuff.
So although my brother pulled a swift one on me, I guess it wasn't all bad news. If he hadn't sold the place, I'd still have a house and garage full of stuff waiting for me to return and sort it....

I gor bored of such feeling at the young age and the recurrence of such feeling declined sharply. Now seldom it occurs but stays only for a few second as the mind tells me there is nothing that make a great change in your life at this old age close to 60.

Just last night my fiance of 5 months is moving back to Texas in June and said he wants to end it with me before he moves because if I go I won't know anyone and I will be leaving all my family and friends.

When the girl I had been dating for a while said she didn't like me as much as I liked her. It's amazing how powerful one person's opinion of you can be...especially when you hope they'd think of you in a more positive light. I guess we're all just seeking approval and appreciation from one special person, and when you think you've found that person, that's when you get vulnerable.
