The Colors Conflicted As The Flames Climbed Into The Clouds

There's a scene in Surviving Christmas where a slightly neurotic Ben Affleck writes down all the moments in his life that wronged him and burned the list as a way to let go. It seemed like a therapeutic idea (plus it came from a Christmas movie, it had to be legit).

So I made the list and pinned it to our clothesline and brought out the lighter.

 

While I don't think I've forgotten the things I wrote, it did have a certain cathartic effect. And it looked cool; I like watching fire =)

I felt bad that I charred the clothesline but the tree yanked it down in an ice storm last winter, so no one will ever know.
