“Sharing the stories of the items and listening to other peoples stories was a beautiful experience.”
“I've always kept memento items like this; I store them in random drawers and boxes without much organization or design. I like coming across them unexpectedly. It's always interesting to see what memory or feeling they trigger. For this selection, I enjoyed rummaging around and seeing what spoke to me today and what I thought might be interesting to share with others.”
“It was really hard to narrow down—I have a lot of keepsakes!”
“I loved it. It made me think deeply about the most important components of my life and pick objects that reflected those areas. It’s an incredible experience that makes you reflect on your life and what is important in such a different and unique way.”
“At first I had a hard time choosing anything. Nothing I have seemed of much value or significance except for this one thing that I couldn't bare to lose and really didn't want to share. So I picked that. Items cant start to seem insignificant as we hold onto them but when we take a moment to tell the story behind our items and why we've held onto them they start to feel really special. Talking about my items brought them to life and made them so much more worthy of sharing. This was a really heartfelt experience for me.”
