Painting

[raybear]

Losing a twenty dollar ikea rug in the move is mildly annoying but I can cope with it. However, I can't seem to find the oil painting I made six years ago which has hung prominently in every home I've lived in since then. One of the few paintings I was quite proud of. I can't remember if I pulled it off the wall, or more I have a vague memory of it, but I don't know where it went after that. I don't remember seeing it get on or off the truck or it floating around the apartment. I think it got pulled off the wall then put in a bag or pile of things to toss.

I must have really been out of my head when I moved. Normally I prioritize the painting. I carry it personally and hang it up almost first thing in the new home.

I feel amazingly stupid and angry about this loss. Maybe staying at home was a bad idea.

i'm sorry. moving does make folks crazy. i've lost things i loved too. and at that one moment i just didn't care. later i was like, wtf? a box of super 8 film that was a whole summer of creative and fun times and a beautiful oil painting of my girl julie. i love the getting loose from stuff vibe but sometimes it goes too far. i think maybe it is supposed to. i don't know. i'm hell at letting go.
