The Intro to my collection of writings I did for Creative Writing Class:

WORTH KEEPING

Stickers, movie tickets, coasters, business cards, candy wrappers, pamphlets. For some, these are worth keeping-they are mementos that will hopefully trigger memories when discovered years later. We attach meaning to tons of different “stuff” and we quickly accumulate clutter we do not need. However, when we examine these objects, with plans to clean up some of the mess, we find it difficult to part with the memories held within these collections.
A picture could capture the moment, music captures the emotion, and a story will capture the lesson. Nothing is able to capture the essence of the experience. Captured in this book are moments and memories worth keeping-talismans and trinkets that when re-discovered and examined, will bring life to moments long-forgotten.
