Today, I threw away my favorite pair of shorts. I'm fairly certain I've used them longer than any other article of clothing I have. I've had a chance to reflect on the reasons why I liked them. They were given as a gift, of which I have thought little of to this point. The reason I liked them was because they were the perfect combination. They were a good color, had the right texture and thickness, had the nice thick waistband, and were durable. I have attempted to replicate this combination. Off-hand, I can think of 5 other pairs of shorts which did not work out. They were too short, too long, too thin of material, or just the wrong color combination. I have tried sports brands and school brand shorts, but with no luck.
As much as I enjoyed having those shorts, they ended up not being worth the effort of keeping. So I decided that I would cut them loose. Maybe, down the line, I'll start looking for another pair, but I wonder if I'll ever find that combination ever again. Now the search begins.
So long.
