First, while I haven't caught up with everything yet, I know that you're now going through this heartbreak again, and my heart goes out to you. I'm sure I'll comment again on more recent posts once I get there. Hang in there. <br /><br />But for this post, I have to share. I have been in my current relationship (yes, good loving men who can communicate and WANT to, do exist!) for about 2 years and I have one of these boxes for my other big relationship (I went back to him several times before finally realizing we were never going to work). He was never big on sentimental gifts, like jewelry. But there were a few things in the years we spent together, including one pair of magnificent white sapphire stud earrings. They were in the box. A few weeks ago, I lost one of my go-to CZ (ooh, fancy!) earrings and instantly thought of those sapphires. I thought, "what the hell? They don't have the same meaning anymore!" And I dug that box out. Took out the earrings, didn't waste any more of my time going through anything else in that box, and put it right back where I had been storing it. And I'm wearing those damn earrings, and it feels SO good to know that I'm finally over him and am in a place where I'm ok with wearing that jewelry. To me, it's a badge of honor, for what I survived, emotionally. I deserve to wear them, and I'm glad that I held onto them so that I could have this moment, several years down the road.Sassy Marmaladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026420867008919609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354936394077279437.post-36797604667699060892010-04-18T08:33:54.867-04:002010-04-18T08:33:54.867-04:00Well, I always have the option to throw it out.

I have no idea if he still has it or has thrown it. I think I secretly hoped he would look through it and want to get back together. LOL. As far as the lingerie (weird word not that I look at it) goes, I would wear it while I read my favorite novel in bed. You can be sexy without him. It's a nice set too.Holly Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418554147424737958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354936394077279437.post-34337968213280031382010-04-14T18:08:49.936-04:002010-04-14T18:08:49.936-04:00Yeah, I'm not sure what I'll do with it.

I would definitely save a few things but maybe those things that cause you happiness and don't bring you pain.<br /><br />The lingerie, on the other hand? Keep it, girl! Put it on when you're feeling a little low to remind yourself how sexy you really are. ;) I need to buy some sexy lingerie...although I won't have a need for any for a long, long time. It's nice to put stuff like that on and just feel like a WOMAN! :)Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354936394077279437.post-51273418600701460792010-04-14T16:34:46.802-04:002010-04-14T16:34:46.802-04:00I love that.

People get up on stage and share stories of heartbreak. They bring a memento from the failed relationship and Dan destroys it in very creative ways! It's hilarious. He does everything from torching things to smashing them with a sledgehammer to sending someone to the bathroom to pee on it. It's too bad you're not here because that seems like a perfect thing to do with your lingerie. <br />-ATAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354936394077279437.post-44256718131357615642010-04-14T12:00:40.719-04:002010-04-14T12:00:40.719-04:00I'm pretty bad at getting rid of this kind of ...I'm pretty bad at getting rid of this kind of stuff.

I say it's sad because I'm someone that likes to keep memories and I wish I had kept those things so that one days I could look back and remember the good times.<br /><br />I'd say throw the lingerie in the box with everything else. But one day if you have kids remember to HIDE that box, lol.Krysten @ Why Girls Are Weirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290616156300143483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354936394077279437.post-17950119092732451502010-04-14T08:21:20.824-04:002010-04-14T08:21:20.824-04:00No, that's too funny (and not all that surpris...No, that's too funny (and not all that surprising).
