preserving pieces of myself

Humans tend to collect things… I do believe everyone collects something…. and if nothing we all collect memories, friends, or experiences. To us, value isn't always determined by what the dollar bills in our wallets are worth. Something valuable is something sentimental, something that reminds us of a good time in our life, something that evokes deep emotions. As humans, we do our best to preserve those experiences and relive them. No amount of money would account for collections of different memories, whether we preserve them through playlists, physical collections, journal entries, or anything else. These things we “collect” in life all become little parts of us. Like Slugman said, us humans aren't just protecting our things, we're preserving pieces of ourselves.
