Very late to this (only discovered your blog tonight and can't stop reading!). Just wanted to say what a beautifully written piece this is. Made me smile and my heart swell.

Thanks for your comments, everyone!

I have a box filled with wristbands, flyers and backstage passes that I've got since I started gigging a lot - even if it's a plain wristband I keep it and write on the back the band, the venue and the date.

I'm figuring that when I've stopped playing, I'll have a lovely record of all the gigs I've done and the places I've been. And when I start feeling down about the lack of progress I'm making with my music, I remember that I've already played a hell of a lot of gigs, and that counts for something.

Another fantastic post. And very true. I keep my personal 'stuff' in a drawer by my bed.

No one can judge their worth except me, because no one else owns those memories.

I have to agree with all you have to say. My shoeboxes have letters and postcards from past crushes, bus tickets and receipts from backpacking expeditions and little plastic containers from Muji filled with sand from all the beaches I've ever visited.

Junk to a lot of people but 1000's of memories, happy and sad, to me.
