things hold memories!!
kev added
Now, when I shop, I try to look for things that will hold lots of memories. Not just from a cost-per-wear perspective, but because of the absolute satisfaction of watching a bag or a piece of clothing become not just something you wear or use but part of your identity, a part of your life. I got kissed in this dress. Okay. I got kissed in this dress about 400 times. Well, now we’re talking. Just like each couple has their own unique lore (we met online, and then chatted for 365 days straight before meeting…) the objects we love most develop their own mythology.

why does this make me a little scared? like i’m desperately hoarding everything that i’ve done within gmail for the last 13 years — as though I’m able to remember everything that was done and believe that there is value in keeping them.
It’s the same thing with my whatsapp message where I keep everything from 8 years ago for that one time i’d choose to scroll back and see my younger self making a fool of herself :”)
What is it with digital artefacts that make it so difficult to let go? Is it because of the fact that it’s there?

“I’ll remember it later.”
I’ll confess, I rarely do.
It turns out, it’s easier to remember questions than answers. And tools like Google Docs and photos in the cloud give us a chance to build our own personal search engine.

For example, link it with your gmail account so that starred messages will automatically be sent to Evernote.
