Memories

my bike arabella
the scribbled note of a friend saying バイトがんばって！ (good luck for work!)
the point card of my favorite café
a tumbler i don't really use, but got as a present from a dear friend
a book i like, but haven't looked at for a long time
the plant i always forget to water
the goldfish glass without a goldfish

i've got exactly one car load to transport all my belongings from ludwigshafen to berlin. clothes, books, cds, kitchen stuff, furniture. everything has its use and meaning, but somehow everything is just weight i carry around. is it better to throw something out and buy a new one instead or is it worth to drive it 600km to berlin? what is really essential? not only in a practical, but emotional way? it's so hard to decide what to give away or throw out and what to keep. i love keeping things that i associate with a certain memory. that's why my room is always messy, that's why i still have that ticket from a concert six years ago. oh, it's going to be hard...
