I'm feeling a bit contemplative.
I own the house that I grew up in as a teenager. That is probably something most people can't say, but its not uncommon with farming families even though I don't farm. A few months ago I started doing some renovations to the basement. It's always been mostly finished, but its wasted space since only my wife and I live in the house. We never go downstairs for anything. I decided to put in a home theater and build a bar. It probably still won't get used a whole lot, but at least it might get used occasionally. One other thing of note is that my bedroom in high school was located in the basement.
Today I was removing some old ceiling tiles, and I came across some letters stashed above them. At first I thought they were something my parents hid to keep safe, but they actually belonged to me. They were written to me by my high school girlfriend over 33 years ago. This was my first true love. We lost our virginity to each other. To say our relationship was emotional and passionate would be a gross understatement. It's very interesting seeing an unexpected snapshot from my past. Memories fade over time and become fuzzy. This was a very raw and vivid reminder of a tumultuous time in my life.
Now the question is.. What do I do with these letter? Stick them up in the ceiling for another 30 years
