I've found that in my life, I have always been a packrat.  I've always been the one to save schoolwork just in case it could be used later.  I save gift bags for later use.  My bedroom walls are covered with miscellaneous things like pencils, plastic utensils and corsages.  I just don't want to lose anything.  It's only fitting that my memories work the same way.  I'm a very nostalgic person; anyone can see that at first glance.  There are a lot of things in life that I miss.  A good majority of them I can never get back.  Some of these things are people I miss-- some I miss because of the distance grown between us, some I miss because of who they were, some I miss because I can never have that same relationship with them, some because they remind me of happier times.  Some things are from time periods of my youth.  Some are specific memories which make me smile just thinking about them.  I wish I could relive all of these things, but I can't.  So instead I wrote about them. 
I hope you enjoy.
