I’ve been thinking alot of the items we own and the items we leave behind. What if you had to choose one everyday item to represent a person. What would it be? For my mum, it would be her stopwatch with the broken rewind button. She was old school when she worked in broadcasting and kept this around long after she had to reset it with a paperclip after every use. To this day it’s still all buiness and never looses a second. My dad would be his frist pair of glasses that I wouldn’t be shocked if he made them himself. The glass is cut uneven and they sit a little lopsided but the edges are smooth and its all surprisingly light. They aren’t neat or pretty but he looks very sweet wearing them as a geeky teenager. These items were made to last but I feel like most of our everyday items are so temporary and single use it would be hard to associate and link a personal history to one thing. We replace. We don’t grow attached. If you had to pick an item to represent you, would you have an easy time choosing? #history #family -- source link
