Purging and letting go of the past

My husband kept one suit and I kept one business suit/skirt for any job interviews we had to go on. That's the custom here in the business/government world.

I have 25 years of memories, mostly.

The lost years is where the pain is.

Small library and a bunch of ties I wil rarely use.

I had no idea it was going to be like starting a whole new life.

Got rid of all the books, but wish I had kept a few of them, just to throw stupid JW failed chronology in some faces. But, otoh, I've picked up a ton of library space for more interesting material, that I'm not ashamed to be seen by visitors.

It takes time, but eventually your new, free, life style eclipses the old JW life. I don't miss the people, don't miss the very, very, few good times. It was all fake anyway. You were only accepted as long as you obeyed and remained loyal to the organization.
