Trash or Treasure?
A story that is meant to be read with the tongue firmly in cheek.
It is that time of the year again! Christmas is less than a month away. You have to make sure that your house is clean for visitors. You decide to start with clearing junk from your house before you do any actual cleaning.
First up is your bedroom. You find ticket stubs for the movie that you watched with your ex 10 years ago. The ink has faded but you remember the night clearly. That was a fun night. You should definitely not throw away memories. Besides, they don’t take too much space at all.
What about the souvenir mug that you bought in Disneyland? Sure, it has a small crack and you will never use it but it brings back so many memories from the time spent with your little brother. Both of you do not talk much anymore. At least you still have the mug with his face on it.
As you continue dusting the shelves, you find random bits and bobs. There is a white string which is possibly a shoe lace. You have kept it from your old pair of running shoes just in case you need to replace the ones from the sneakers that you own currently.
For the same reason, you have also saved the handles of your previous handbag. As everyone knows, handbag handles tend to peel after a while. It is always good to have spares…
