Gifts
My random mind decided to take a walk, and ended up on the topic of gifts.
As a typical sentimental Cancerian, I LOVE my memories. Let me clarify, I am not just talking about random memories, but I tend to surround myself with items or ‘stuff’ that all have emotional value to it.
I ‘stole’ a poster from my moms storage, as it was one that was printed back in the 80’s in the dot matrix format, of my sister and I. I collect teddy bears, and each one has a story of its own. The purse my sister gave me for a random new year, the coffee mug I got from a trip to Universal Studios with my sisters for my 30th birthday, the earrings given to me by my former students. The belt from my bestie from a trip to Bali. The watch from my graduation. The magnets on my fridge.. the one thing all my ‘stuff’ have in common is my memories. My favourite jewellery all have stories and memories attached. I have noticed that the ones that don’t, collect dust.
So while my thoughts took a random walk, I suddenly realised that as much as I love food and gadgets, once it is consumed or well used, there is nothing left to keep!
Food is obvious, once consumed, its gone. Gadgets, though used often, after some time, it does breakdown, and then it would need to be upgraded. So the old one is useless and collects dust.
So I wonder, how odd am I to have these thoughts..has it ever cross your mind? What is your thought on this? Do you do the same?
