Memento Mori

While I was tidying up my room during spring cleaning, I popped open the drawers at my desk and looked at all the junk contained within. Logically, if the junk is there and not to be thrown away, it has to serve some kind of purpose. Otherwise, I should just dump the stuff and free up the storage space. It's kinda like inventory management.

So basically I found that my stuff turned out to be junk and mementos. Not to be confused with Mentos. The mementos could be further separated into my stuff, and stuff people gave me or stuff that's related to other people. After sifting out the stuff, I realized that most were obsolete anyway so they went into the junk pile.

What remained were basically items from my past, and stuff from people who are now dead. So I wound up reserving one drawer as a time capsule of sorts, and the other as a dedicated memento mori drawer. Sort of like a memorial drawer, which is pretty much what I'm calling it at this point.

Currently, 3 ex-peoples' stuff occupies the space, though a 4th person's stuff is too big so it's in my shelf. 4 and counting. Well, at least I now have an excuse to keep some sorts of junk...errr...mementos... around.
