over the past year i started collecting little things from days out with my friends or family or whatever. my room is COVERED in different receipts, packaging from stuff i've bought, postcards, birthday cards, and not just paper stuff, also things like rocks or little toys we've found or an empty bottle of jack daniels from my birthday last year which i mixed with kopparberg (don't ask me why because i don't know :') ) it's all on display in my room and i love my room for that. i'm surrounded by fond memories with those i love even if i can't exactly remember what some silly label was from or something, i know it's from something i enjoyed enough to stick it on my corkboard or something.

I absolute loving this, Oli! I'm doing the same thing cause my work as a graphic designer and I'm feeling at the same way when I find something I pick up years ago and remember what happened or not, because I picked it up just because it was nice ahahha (sorry if my english is bad)

I love stuff and i love hanging onto things. I love that i have a stack of letters my friends and i wrote and passed back and forth in class at 13 years old. I love that i still have the fake menu my best friend and i made when we were 8 for our fake restaurant that only served bug-based dishes. I love that i have a drunk love note scrawled on toilet paper at 3 in the morning in 2012. seemingly meaningless things like this from my past help remind me that I’ve actually led a wonderfully full life despite often feeling like I’ve not done enough.

take that little trip down memory lane. look through those photos. read through that old notebook. maybe it’s junk but maybe it’s special

nothing better than spending a friday night going through your memories-box and crying looking at old photos, birthday cards, movie tickets, letters and old diaries… sentimentality can be cathartic
