No Space.

After downloading numerous softwares (and I am afraid my computer will be filled with viruses and sorts) I heard a continuous beep coming from my pc. And there, a bubble warning came up. It said my drive C has little space left. And so I checked. Holy Cow! My 40 gig drive C only has 183 Mb left! While my Drive D (40Gb also) only has 7 Gb left! And there, my pc slowed down and hanged twice. argh.

And so I deleted files that I don't need anymore and made me realize a thing or two.

My life has probably received the bubble warning "Your Drive C Life has limited space left." And unless I delete those that I don't need, the trash in my life, my life would take a slow progress and a couple times, may hang. So, I should try to delete those ties that always pull me back. So that, I'll have more space for more wonderful things and leave the garbage behind.

But just like deleting files in my computer, I am always thinking twice whether I should delete my own life's baggage or not. Some are down right delete-worthy. But others (and they are many of them) that are not easy to dispose of. Would I need them in the future? Do I have a back-up where I can retrieve them later? These are the questions I usually ask myself when deleting files in my computer and quite surprisingly, as well in my life.

And once I hit that "Yes" button after the Are you sure you want to delete this file?, there is no going back. You would never see a trace of that file ever again. Sayonara for good. And maybe, just maybe, the reason I am not successful in deleting my own trash is because this is the question in my life where I usually choose "No."
