Realizations from saying goodbye to Mazy The Mazda

Today I said goodbye to Mazy (my Mazda). It was actually a really hard time for me. As I was cleaning out all of the different compartments of my car, i began to realize that tears were rolling down my cheeks. Its hard to believe that such a faithful car that traveled the U.S. with me and how she never disappointed me when I just had to get out of time or even offered a place to stay for the night. I found scissors bought from a trip in some dollar store on my way to Missouri with Cindy before our trek across the nation. I discovered bachlorette playing cards from a wild adventure in Denver for Nikki. Bobby pins, cds, shoes, and tire chains that reminded me of the Donner pass and peoples obsession of glorifying that whole tragedy, memories of crazy fun times with Chris. Saying good bye to this car really made me realize that just certain memories of my life are just memories now and sadly I guess its just time to let go of it...considering those memories are just that- memories. New memories will come and go. Saying good bye is hard by letting go is harder...i guess the new chapter really has begun...I suppose Mazy hung around longer then just the college years and I'm thankful for that...hopefully those memories will hang around for longer yet remind me that with Mazy those times have flown out the window. With a new car approaching and being discovered (hopefully soon) new memories of being spontaneous, blind and unwaivering love, friends, and new risks will arise.
