So I decided to...

[Brujahpriest]

POP my inbox of my Google Apps hosted email, something I haven't done in a while.

Forgot I had mail in that box as early as 2001. I started pulling mail down about 3 hours ago, and I am only up to August of 2005 right now.

This plus fuzz's thread about organizing got me thinking, whats the oldest email you've chosen to keep around?

I kept one email which reminds me of the lowest point of my life and the lies that were told to me to remind me not to fall for that shit again.

My oldest email is the one I use for my msn right now. I barely ever check the email tho.

Is it bad I stared at that email for the past 5 minutes and felt bitterness the whole thing through it? :unsure:

Uhh... sorry, wasnt meaning to dredge up bad memories.

No worries, it was a mistake that I was glad I gotten out of. It was the very last email he ever sent me before he ditched me, then I found out his real age, kids and that he wasn't seperated from the wife. Fucker even told me he would bring me to a jeweler and get me a ring so I can get in a hotel room for sex. I also hated the control he had, also the jealousy and how trapped I truly felt, I let him know that I was standing up for myself before that last email and questioned everything he's ever done because of a feeling I had that I needed to be stronger since he made me weak. So yeah.... bitterness :thumbdown

Then he responds back with the most romantic email ever, then ditched and never came back. I kept that email all this time... weird :/

Anything to do with a space oddessy?

 

[cam elle toe]

Mine is about 2 years old.

Its from my friend who passed away from breast cancer about 18 months ago, and I read it to remind me to stay positive and happy, when I'm feeling down.
