Don't get me wrong, I attribute value to "things" in my life - things like artwork and stupid awards that I got when I was a kid (which my parents saved for me). But it all (now that I've purged it) fits neatly in one(1) bankers box. I don't plan on going for a trip down memory lane again for a LONG time... maybe never.

I agree with you in a way.I dont think awards are personal.But what I'm saying and I'm sure Chemda was saying is that notes and poems,ramblings are all personal things that reflect what we were thinking at the time they were written.
And trust me sometimes its so fun in a weird way to go back and read some journal entry I wrote when I was super depressed and see how my life has changed from that point or how different I am.
