Some Things Just Have To Go
Mum used to complain about me not getting rid of my old shoes. One of the few reasons why I kept them for so long was because they were very comfortable to wear and I didn’t had another other comfortable shoes which I could wear for hours.
So I finally got rid of them and this gave me more reason to go shopping for new pair of shoes to replace them. And so I did. 
Even in life, we got to learn to let go of the old and move on (and change) to something new. Be it bad habits, things that we have kept since childhood, or event things we do not used. When I was a kid, I used to hold on to this blanket of mine for years until it got torn into pieces and I had to throw it away. There was also a teddy bear. It has sentimental value, you know. Well, that was years ago.
My Chinese school teacher once told me that, every festive New Year, people buy new clothes (it’s not a must must la, but they say it’s better) to welcome the New Year. I’m sure some of you have of this. I personally do not follow any of those ritual but I sure wouldn’t mind getting something new each year. Or even each day or each month. LOL! Sigh. Girls just love to shop. *grin*
Anyway… Have you ever kept/hold on to something which you find it hard to let go/get rid?
hi celine, i agree with u. we should learn how to let go of the past n look fwd into the future (plus point if we get rid of our clothes –> we get to shop
).
however, personally i find that it is easy to let go of physical things / beings, but i guess most of us will find that it’s hard to let go of what has been etched in our mind

Hi Celine, I just read some of your blogs and it is quite interesting. It also reminds me of those days when I have lots and lots of bags and shoes as well. Until that very day, I realize I have to get rid some of the old ones. This apply in my love life as well. During those days, I didn’t even know which guy to get rid off where I have too many at that time.
Until this recently, my boyfriend has found out from one of his friends and I was so afraid about it. I didn’t know what to do but I had to find something to protect myself. Luckily, his friend didn’t know who was that specific guy was, so I simply mention a guy’s name who’s my friend. Of course, a very old friend and I don’t intend to keep in touch with him. At the end of the day, it is kinda unfair for him but finally I’ve gotten rid of him for good and prevent me from bad things to happen too.
Since the New Year is just not so far from now, hope I could get rid all the bad karma out of me for good!!!!
Hahaha
