Demolishing one thing implies its complete destruction. It would also be wise to wait until that process is complete until beginning the rebuilding process. But what defines the end of a demolition?
I would say that it's when you clean up all the debris and take it out to the trash. It has to be removed from my life before I can even consider rebuilding. And it is trash. There is no point in holding on to the broken pieces of my life as though they are vintage, heirloom or antiques of a time that I would prefer to forget.
It is trash. Throw it away. Never think of it again. Relish in the removal of its emotional burden, now lifted. Feel the freedom of the new space that I have created.
Do I want to just sit in that new space? Do I want fill it with new things, memories, habits, people and thoughts? And if so, which new things, memories, habits, people and thoughts?
Maybe I should sit for a bit on this one.
Rebuilding requires an architect.
