mementos

So, I guess we all have our little somethings that we keep as a little  memory from ages. Either from your child hood, your teen years or something from your past relationships. Well, I was cleaning out my room and decided to throw some stuff out that I have in the shoe boxes in my closet. Man, do i have a lot of shoe boxes...it tells me how many pairs of shoes I've had in the past... well same thing as 2 full garbage bags of old clothes I'm going to donate.

Any who, back on topic, the things I found that I appeared to have kept through out high school were the letters that my pen pals or my friends that I've met online sent to me in the past. I also kept my happy notes from my grade 9 English Class (pictured above). Although most of them say the same thing, they still put a smile on my face. How? I simply don't know. Maybe because it's the fact that its a bit of assurance for me that my classmates doesn't think low of me? But then again they were forced to write something nice about me regardless of what they thought about me. Most of them said the same thing, "cute," "quiet," "cool"...etc. Don't know how that still puts a smile on my face.

Well, there's my collection of letters, I've collected over the few years. Well it's a combination of cards and letters combined together. Quite a bit, filled up one shoe box. I found one with a condom... yeah some one sent me a Christmas card with a condom inside.  The card dates back to 2006, no point in using that now, but it could make a good joke for a friend. I wished I was still in contact with these people who sent me the letters so I can just jokingly tell them, "oh hey i still have your letters, I know I'm weird but I don't know why i still have them."

So....do you have some sort of memento of things?
