Opened a box. Found me inside.
Backstory
A long-stored box simply labeled mementos sits on a shelf in the furnace room. It has seen several moves. It contains old photos before marriage, before children, before this life. There are university papers, stories, and notebooks all bearing my coloured ink and distinctive writing. It hasn't been opened in years. Today, I sat down with the box and remembered who I used to be. by canadafreeze in Six-Word Memoirs on Nov 15, 2012 |

What a wonderful way to re-acquaint yourself. Maybe your children and grandchildren can get to know another version of you someday too.Of course they may not believe you were ever a person before them ;-)

I know it is not a uncommon experience, but it is definitely one to savour.
