Will's Metacognition post.
Of all the organization blogs i felt that i connected with yours the most, the pack rat mentality of keeping things for the memories describes my discombobulated state of belongings throughout my room. when i did my cleaning i too found papers from middle school which brought back nostalgia, but in the end i also threw them away holding onto the memories and letting go of the past. the part where you described the little things that you did not think about or had been looking for for ages and found them was something that i also experience when i cleaned my desk i found several little things that i had not thought about until i found them again. overall a very good read.

i had a similar experience watching this part of the video, "why ruin a good thing." was what i was thinking the entire time. i could not grasp the idea of undoing all of your work in hopes that the grass is greener on the other side. i also had a similar aha moment, i realized that he wasn't trying to make it better he was jut making it what it needed to be. translating my vague mannerism the artist was doing what he felt was needed to give the paper life. i realized that had he left it as one thing the papers potential would not be reached but through doing it and redoing it he made the paper what it needed to be. its cool knowing that i was not the only one effected by that scene.
