# Box of Mementos
<br>
I was *"cleaning"* today and organised some of the little bits and bobs I have gathering dust on my shelves. One of the things is this box full of random memories. 

I'm the kind of person that saves place tickets, movie tickets, bus tickets, all kinds of tickets, polaroids (not the selfie kind) and the most random little bits from travels and events. Some of the things in here are funny, some heartwarming and some bittersweet, but I like to save it all. 

Sadly nowadays a lot of tickets are in digital form, just like pictures, so I can't save them to my little box just like that. And I like material things, not just things in the cloud storage or in the back of my memory, I don't trust either of them.

I should definitely take more friendsies with my polaroid camera because it's so nice to have and share a real picture of a loved one, and put it to a safe place, or keep in your wallet. For me, everything is/was more real if there is physical proof of the event or person. A picture together,  a ticket to a show, or a receipt from the restaurant we went to. 

# Do you keep mementos like these? If so, where are they hidden in your house?
