You Must Leave It Behind

It’s a quiet ritual of parting, where forgotten trinkets, discarded belongings, and once-precious memories resurface one last time before being let go. One by one, they are sorted, remembered, and released. When you turn back and see the empty shell of the place you once called home, you realize—something must be left behind. This is for all the things that once lived with me in countless homes, but were abandoned in the act of moving on.
