Starbucks wisdom

Normally I don’t buy Starbucks coffee (overpriced monopoly, anyone?) but today they were giving it away for free so I took advantage and got a “Light Note” decaf 16 ounce cup. Printed on my cup was the following:

It’s difficult for people to get rid of junk. They get attached to things and let them define who they are. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this business, it’s that you are what you can’t let go of.
— Brian Scudamore, Founder and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK

So what am I? I am:

  • Boxes and boxes of notes to friends from high school
  • Old books
  • Clothes I’m certain I’ll fit into again, 10 pounds from now
  • Canvasses with bad paintings
  • Drawers full of souvenirs, birthday cards, movie tickets, theatre playbills, and other random stuff
  • Disappointment in people
  • Self doubt

What are you?
