Well, I did something today I have never before done in my 45 years - I cleaned out my desk. It was a weird feeling - throwing stuff in boxes, throwing stuff away. I tried to decide if I wanted to keep some things as records, in case somehow I end up being somebody who writes an autobiography and I have to try to recall my stormy years at the Actors' Shakespeare Project. But I put them in the recycling bin. Ya gotta move forward, ya know?
I also had to decide if I was going to leave certain "gifts" behind as caustic reminders that I had a taken everything else away with me, but I chose to take the high road there.
I don't know how I feel about it. I'm very glad I'm leaving on a six week trip tomorrow, so I can clear my head of the past 2 years for real, and get thinking about the future.
