Here's a thought. While I was tidying up my room before I leave for OZ land, i found my old shoebox from when I was little.
People keep different things in their shoeboxes.
Some liked photos, some letters, collectibles, old spectacles, porno mags, etc etc etc....
At the sight of my old shoebox, it's hard to believe how long has it been since I last opened it.
Behind that cardboard cover, contains items that are preserved through time in dust each with a story that summarises the past.
Reminising the past is best done in moderation, I guess. Cos, the present has much more to offer. I'll reserve the reminiscence till the time I have nothing more to look forward to.
So, I'm keeping my shoebox the way it is. Nothing is going in or out. Like cognac, letting it 'age' through time as it grows refined. Possibly another 60 years :)
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I wonder how long will this timecapsule last?
What's in your shoebox?
