Memories

Hello world!

I was going to talk about this on Monday, but I didn't get on the computer that day...

So this has to do with my list from Friday. I suppose a lot of people don't see need in diaries (when I first started it, I didn't want to), but I have grown to learn the importance of them, so I have full respect for them.

People that know me well enough know I have a lot of stuffed animals. And I love them very much. With a lot of stuff I own I grow emotionally attached. I like to save a lot of stuff from my childhood. With most of my old toys, I wouldn't give them for anything. (Unless my sister was kidnapped and I was told she would be killed unless I give them up, then of course. I highly doubt that would happen, though.)

I could explain this in such a complicated way that most wouldn't understand me, but instead I'll use a quote from The Office:

I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you actually left them.

I already consider my childhood as "the good old days," and I'm only 13! I'm sure that the good old days is my whole past, so I want to keep a record of it before it leaves me.

I try to protect even the tiny things, like maybe some pages from a notebook that I doodled on, or maybe a necklace from a friend, even if I only knew them for a few days. I even wish some of my scars didn't disappear.

This is especially important to me because I don't have the best memory for most stuff. If I didn't write in my diary about certain things, I may have forgotten them completely.

I probably sound pretty stupid for caring about memoirs so much, but I honestly can't express how much I  want them. How much I NEED them. I hope future me doesn't forget their importance.
