Re: What Have You Collected?
Cool topic.
I collect memories. I have had this same old box for the last 20+ years and I collect important memories in it by saving a little something from significant events. I have the usual items one would expect - pictures, ticket stubs, letters, etc. However, I have some unusual items - a Michael Jackson candy bar from a trip to Greece in 1991, a semi-adult magazine from a newsstand in Paris, the head scarf from a girl from a very special moment we shared, and a very bad bracelet I wore when going through a phase in college. There are also some super special things in there that I would never show anyone.
It is by far my most prized possession and if my place was burning it would be the one thing I would make sure I saved. Its loss would be unbearable.
I also used to collect guitar magazines and guitar books when I used to play many years ago. I probably have the sheet music for 10,000 or more songs and 1,000s of guitar lessons. The books and magazine fill a big closet.
