Oh I felt this. As someone whose cleaning habits have often been compared to a faulty Roomba by my partner, I understand the curating of ones junk, seeing past selves and kindred spirits reflect in the smallest most mundane things.

There is some fear attached too, perhaps it is age or perhaps it is something innately human, but somehow at times I fear losing the memento will mean loosing the memory.

Well Clint I told you a short time ago, ditch the glitz and ephemera, the real memories--that count, live on forever more in your/our memory. It also helps of course for when we shuffle of this mortal coil and someone/whoever has to come in and clear your effects. Most likely it all means nothing to someone else. But still I'm not like everyone else and living in the Ivory Tower I do see things differently šŸ˜Ž I'll catch up on that guys essay laters as my response to you about Jack and Margaret in the Part2 posting I have just made has quite depleted my emotions. Jeepers I must be human after all 😲 Cheers DougT šŸ‡«šŸ‡“šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§
