Release The Memory
Every time I drive through town on my way to my mom’s I can’t help but look over at the building where I used to work. I spent seven years at that job, going into that building every day. I suppose it’s normal to look in that direction as I drive past.
Strange thing, though, is that very few of the people who worked in that building are still there. The lawyer who owns the building and his associates are there, of course. One business who took our former upstairs office is still there. But that’s it. The United Way, Building Development and Chamber of Commerce are gone. I imagine the SBA agent who performed Small business valuation there once each week no longer meets there now. So much has changed. It isn’t the same place that it used to be.
I’m trying to detach from places and things. I’m trying to not allow the past to hold more meaning for me than is necessary. I think I’m going to try to drive by the old building this week and not look in that direction. I’m going to release that memory. And move on.
