History of things

I collect a lot of stuff. Like letters. I haven’t thrown away letters and postcards for years. I also collect small objects, often that remind me of places. Like rocks or knick-knacks. I guess I’m worried I’ll forget what things are like or how it feels to be in that place. I think we all have personal signifiers of who we are. These objects form a psychological environment of stuff that we inhabit. I want to take some of my objects out of the box and start recording and mapping my own version of history.
