Yes I find the trauma of clearing anything away let alone throwing anything away still significant as you may need them at some point. The fact that they have been around for years is not relevant. Oh my goodness how much stuff we accumulate and how little of it do we really need. Francoise wanted to go out and buy some more conditioner liquid for use in the washing machine cycle and I...

The eight types of love, revisited.
On the 5th of March 2018, six years ago, I wrote an article about various types of love.
