38 minutes ago Still hanging on to your old diaries and teenage photos? Chuck them out – and start to live | Nell Frizzell

I’m moving house, which means coming face to face with a lifetime of mementos. I feel a burden lifting with each item I bin, donate or recycleThere is a particular sort of box that lurks in every home, full of “memorabilia” or “mementos”. Baby teeth, divorce certificates, spare keys for locks unknown, your granny’s old Padre Pio fridge magnet, the tenancy agreement for your last flat: the whole thing is rank with association, emotion, nostalgia and pain. That box is my nemesis. That box is doom.Because I decided that turning 40, being pregnant and training for a second career wasn’t enough to be getting on with in a single month, I am also in the lucky position of moving house.

The more we identify with those suffering, the more vicarious trauma we may feel. But we can recover and even grow from this experienceThe modern mind is a column where experts discuss mental health issues they are seeing in their workAs I stepped into my office and checked my client list for the day, I was surprised to see a name pop up that hadn’t been there for a while.

98 minutes ago The circus that bought a tiny California town: ‘We’re creating our own Disneyland’

Nipton sat neglected for years until Las Vegas’s Spiegelworld turned it into a circus havenFrom 10 miles out, the tiny town of Nipton suddenly appears in the middle distance like a mirage: a huddle of lush eucalyptus trees in an otherwise impossibly vast, barren expanse of the California desert.From closer up, the place still feels dream-like. Old west-style buildings, including the Nipton Trading Post and a five-bed hotel built in the early 1900s, dot the community but are shuttered to the public. Other than the freight trains that regularly slice through the edge of town, Nipton is often completely silent.
