"Detritus - the remains of something that has been destroyed or broken up."
I'm noticing a lot of "life detritus" has accumulated in my house. For example, every time I would get a drinking glass from the cupboard, I saw a mug I had bought years before at the urging of my then boyfriend. It was a "pay $5 now, and refills are $1 for life" kind of deal.
The sight of it always reminds me that I had not ever used it after buying it. It also reminded me of the boyfriend. So, the sight of the mug was a negative memory of a waste of time and money (for both the mug & the boyfriend). But yet, it sat in the cupboard, high on a shelf - since 2005!
I'm working on getting rid of "life detritus" - the mug was the first to go.
