Letters from Grenada

Compartmentalizing your emotions is not unlike storing leftovers.

You put them in a Tupperware, throw the thing in the fridge and forget about it. Time passes. It gets pushed back, behind the milk. Then one day, when you’re trying to make room for something else, you come across it and toss it to the back of the bottom shelf without even thinking about what’s in it. More time passes and you decide to clean out your fridge. You come across the container again, only this time you actually open it. What’s inside is unrecognizable. And smelly. So you wrinkle up your nose and throw it away for real this time, without a moment’s thought. And you do this in spite of the fact that when you first put it in the Tupperware, you were certain it was something worth saving.
