The things I hold A part of me would like to throw nothing away. I really like to keep the things I don't need anymore. I don't really know why, maybe I get attached too much to everything and I don't like to let things go. But the point here is to talk about this things I specially like to keep. I keep bus and train tickets of special dates, the passes I monthly get for the subway, and, in general, the tickets of all the events I assist to. Furthermore, I really like cycling, and I repair my own bike when it breaks down. And I have never thrown away any broken part I've changed. I feel all of them tell a story, the story of the places they have been, and how much they have rolled. I don't really spend much time looking at them, I just like keeping them and knowing they are there. I do like showing them to other people and telling their stories. I also like to keep digital files. I take a lot of photographs, and I keep them all, the good and the failed ones, because, again, I feel this large sets of photos tell the story of what was happening when they were taken. My computer is also full of old stuff I used to do, like simple softwares I used to program, old games I used to play and lots of things I have written. A lot of this texts were written long ago and I'm ashamed to read them, so I almost never do that, but I like knowing they are there. I think I'm kind of afraid of forgetting. I used to think about what would happen if I got amnesic, and how all this stuff would help me to remember. All this things are some kind of answer to (and a consequence of) the internal question of who I am, and a way to tell it to others. Because, after all, this stuff tells not any story but my story. Ok, it got a little deep haha This is just a practice of my writting in English, so I will appreciate any corrections and suggestions to make it sound more natural. Thank you for reading and have a nice day!
