For example what do you do with your things? Older people, and I am quickly getting there, tell me you have to declutter, give away stuff and simplify your life. I can understand the concept but I don't think I am quite there yet. I would like instead to handle the objects I have collected over the last 60 plus years and have someone with which to share the memories of each item; where I got it, why I've kept it and what does it mean to me.
Maybe then I could give it away to a good home, someone who would enjoy it as much as I do. I already know that this probably won't happen soon but I also don't see that moment when an item is torn from my clutched hand either. People always say things don't matter and I agree but it is the stories about things that brighten my day.
