The most powerful memories often come from the things we didn’t save.
They come from:
A dried-up blob of Floam
A crumpled drawing in a drawer
A LEGO brick under the couch
They’re not perfect.
They’re not curated.
But they’re real.
So if you find something old.
Something weird.
Something that smells faintly of 2001…
Don’t just toss it.
Hold it.
Smile.
Let it take you back.
Because sometimes, the most nostalgic moment of your week…
Isn’t in the past.
It’s in your hand.
And once you let it in?
You might just remember what it felt like to be a kid — before the world got so serious.
