All My Life For Sale (BG)

I was excited to sit down and read "All My Life For Sale" by John Freyer. As I read the story, i found myself relating a lot to the text. I've also held on to a lot of things, not everything but I know the feeling. I found it interesting how I could picture his home in my head, and how he set aside everything in his life to go and visit his things he sold. I found it kinda cool that he traveled to different places he's never been to before, but now he had the chance to because a piece of him, sort to speak, was there. I think that in a way he let that part of him go, but not really. He just made more room to discover new parts about himself. He seems like through this experience and through his website, he discovered that he will probably never settle down and has learned to look forward to the future. After reading this, I've also learned to look forward to the future even if Ive had a bad day, theres gonna be a few of those every now and again, but in the end you will probably have more good days than bad. something else I've learned is that you need to learn to make room to discover new things about yourself. Don't be afraid to make new friendships and travel to new places. I also had a thought about how technology played a big part in John's adventure. without technology there would be no internet, and no internet means no website. No website means none of John's things would have been sold, and then John wouldn't have had the chance to travel to new places and make new friends. I guess this shows how big of a part technology plays a part in our daily lives. Even looking at Facebook, most of us use Facebook to stay in touch with friends, family, old teachers, new friends exc. everyday. This allows you to stay in touch easily while having the chance to make new relationships. I would hope that everyone would take part in this opportunity like John did, and make the future a more friendly and open up more opportunities, if that happened, i cant wait to see what the future holds.
