The Shedding

I think for any successful trip to function well, without leaving behind the tangled mess of all those bridges you tried to burn down before leaving, it is important, as one of those vital steps to leave a clean slate. Whether this is by your hand or not, a clean slate I guess is the best way to leave things behind, and also to take with you on your new adventure.

This process, I will call the shedding. Normally the things involved in 'the shedding' are:
1) The Job - Check
2) The Debt- Check
3) The Lady - Check
4) The Home - Check
5) Your inhibitions? CHECK

Those are probably the 5 slates I wanted to wipe clean before I left for my adventure and I feel I have successfully managed, whether by my choosing or not (yes thats right, fuck you JOB/LADY) you manage to leave with an eliviated spirit as all those worldy burdens will shed off your shoulders as you are so completely removed from your comfort zone, you are mistaking your head for your arse.

So the shedding has occurred, my slate is as bare as the walls I have now shed of anything personal. My poor poor bare walled room, how much character you have lost! How much soul!

Now all the character comes from the speakers I faithfully left unpacked so my iPod and it can be become acquainted again. I have spent the last two months in a house other than my own, but even these bare walls are so much more homely and welcome me back with open arms. I have to love my door that closes itself!
