One thing that I have always had a problem with is letting things go. For that reason, I tend to be a hoarder. All of the things I have collected have meaning in that they are tied to some memory or the other. Part of me is terrified that if I lose these things, it will be as if I had never had those experiences, since I will not have the item that sparks the memory.
One specific example of this is that I have collected t-shirts that no longer fit or are damaged to the point of being unwearable. From someone with very low standards in terms of what they wear in public (food-stained t-shirt and pajama bottoms?) that is saying something.
So I decided that if I uploaded pictures of these shirts here, I would have a place that would remind me of the stories that go with them. I like to think of this as one of my "be smarter, don't work harder" solutions.
The first shirt is from UMD. I got this shirt when I went to an event at the Catholic Student Center. This was the first and last time that I ever went there.
The second shirt is from a MD basketball game. I think it was sophomore year, but I might be wrong. They only had larges, so I wore it as a tight shirt while one of my friends cut and tied hers into a smaller size.
The last shirt is the most recent. I got it at a metal festival in ABQ, NM. I tore the front of the shirt because of a mosh pit the same day I bought it. You can see the tour location on the back.
I'm glad I got to leave this small part of my life journey here. Makes me feel like I'm in a Brandon Sanderson novel.

That's a pretty smart idea, actually. Also, I still have that T-shirt! I think it's in my bedroom closet back in MD haha. I probably haven't worn it since I got it...
ReplyDeleteHaha, nice. I wore mine whenever I was running low on Tshirts and was too lazy to do laundry xD
DeleteComing back and looking over my post made me want to go home and pull these shirts out of the trash. Thank goodness for basic levels of self control.
