This is sort of a continuation of my last post, Room Makeover: A Personal Touch. So check that out first, if you want.
Since I first left for England for university, before I even began this blog, I’ve kept little things. When I started, I thought I might scrapbook them or something, but turns out I don’t really like scrapbooking. I prefer writing my memories for people to read rather than crafting away in a personal book, and I’d rather display my memories somewhere I can see then rather than hide them in pages on a shelf to get dusty on. That’s just me.
There are a few categories my little knick-knacks fall into: Tokens from my travelling, pieces from my acting work, pictures of family and friends, stubs from adventures, and scraps from my daily life, what it was or is.
Not all of them are on my wall or in this post. Some were too big, some were too heavy, some are somewhere else. But in the same way this blog has been running over some of the biggest turning-points of my life, these trinkets are representative of events, places, times, and people who have formed who I am now.
So enjoy.
