Recovering From Loss: Time Capsule Edition (5)

1 Name: Ungulate : 2015-04-12 00:47 ID:CFEHMfuJ [Del]

Hey everyone, I did a thing today. A few months ago I lost someone really important to me. They didn't die or anything but it sure felt like they did, and they're effectively dead because we have no means of contact anymore, but it still hurts all the same. I finally took all of my memories and boxed them up by making a time capsule. You can check it out here and there's a link to a post in that gallery that gives some more context. It's a big read though so I won't clutter this post up with any more than I already have. I actually started coming here frequently because of what happened and I wanted to make sure that at least someone else didn't have to feel as crummy as I did.

Anyways, it turned out to be a pretty good idea and I feel better having done it, even if I'm a little late. I'd like to encourage anyone out there going through something similar or who just has things they'd like to remember or even just externalize to make something like I did. It's pretty therapeutic actually.

Thanks. I'm glad it comes off as more than just me being nostalgic and rambling. It's a really nice feeling knowing that so many people know how I felt now, so anyone with any weight like that should definitely give it a try.

I'm definitely thinking about it. A friend of mine did projects with me where we'd decorate and fill an entire notebook with secrets, thoughts, rants... But they've become a different person and we don't talk anymore. I was going to just destroy the notebooks I got from them, but I'm thinking about doing this instead...

Do it! I'd love to see what you come up with.
