Who among us doesn't have baggage? Can your troubled past fit in this Louis Vuitton luggage?

I was reading my latest copy of one on my favorite magazines, "ReadyMade Magazine" when I see that they are selling chalkboard paint. I think they are selling it at Urban Outfitters too, but I bought some years ago from Home Depot to make a cool menu board.

While thinking about the chalkboard paint and wondering if my landlord would be pissed if I covered all my walls with it (?), I wondered what it would be like to cover ourselves with it so we could keep or erase what we wanted.

How great would it be to meet someone wonderful and only start with a blank slate, share the chalk, make new designs, pick different colors of chalk...?

Sure our past is what makes us and we should never be ashamed of anything we've ever done, unless it was buy and wear Uggs out in public.

I think it would be so cool to go out with someone for the first time and take them to places that I'd never been before, make new friends, create new memories, eat new foods, make new mistakes, say new stupid things, be silly in original ways and never tell the same old stories.

Cause carrying this old baggage has grown tiring and it's a drag going through Airport Security with it all the time. I'm donating it to the thrift store.
