Did you ever tear your ex's photos?

I just ended a serious relationship with the guy I really liked. It's been 5 or 6 years and it's sad. And I feel like even more painful if I go into details. Yesterday, I sold the computer he gave me and tore his photos, letters he wrote to me and got rid of other stuff he gave me as gifts. I have to make a confession that it does not feel all better. But,,, I think it is a startover for my future life without him. So I am moving on...
