A little while ago Bruce and I talked, and I'm in the process of dismantling my neopets account. Actually, it was more of a confrontation than a discussion. But regardless or why, I am getting rid of the stuff.
When a caring guild member asked about giving my account to someone else instead of freezing my account, I wrote a response. I had never really thought of freezing my account - more like I was just going to make it inactive with not much in it to tempt me back.
Well, this is what I wrote, and since I wrote it, I've been really thinking about what I said:
"I'm having a hard time letting go of neopets altogether. I'm okay with the stuff going, just not my account name or my favourite pet (or my stamps *grin*). And it may be a symptom of my having a hard time letting go of stuff in RL, too. We have a cluttered house full of stuff that has memories but no practical use. And I'm at the point where I know intellectually that I need to focus more on my spiritual life (things like my rule of prayer and reading my bible) but I still find it hard to do. It's like I know I need to let go of the things that tie me to this world, but I like the things of this world - even though I know this is temporary and I should think more of what is eternal."
