Mind sometimes wants to hide away a thing it’s attached to that is resisted somehow, but won’t throw the thing away – it wants to still have access to it. Distance something, yet have it within reach.
It’s a funny dynamic. To wish to forget something, but still truly remember it. An intermingling of resistance and attachment.
I was made aware of it when I noticed myself stash away some things related to my last relationship in the deepest drawer. Once I became conscious of it, I took these things and put them out on front. To face resistance and difficult feelings. Soon, there might come a time to face the attachment and throw these things out for good – I will go wherever intuition guides me.
