Citizen!!

I just fixed an extension lead, and i thought about the things in my room.
I have the usual stuff, like a bed, a chair and a table i bought in the summer. I like the table because it can turn around, like the ones from the hospitals. Anyway, there are also posters. Mostly TV and movie related, for example the one about Godzilla and the "The Day after Tomorrow" one. But... There are also other things and that's my concern.

Let's say, i have a lot of stuff...

First of all, lots and lots of rocks. Most of them where colected from my trip to the Atacama Desert, but there are other taken from all over the country, and others from all over the world. I even have fossils, and some undetermined pieces.
On the other hand, i have a drawer full of receipts... You know, the ones that give you when you buy something. From the bus, from a doughnut, from the laundry, etcetera. Specially bus tickets, which they are compressed to fit in the drawer. I also have lots of opened cans and empty bottles.

And there goes the question: Why do i collect such things?

I do not say this in order to harm the collectors or anything, but i don't even have more space to drop more things. So, why then?.

To me, the answer is quite obvious: Because they are related to my memories.

Yes, believe it or not, i have all those rocks because they make me remember some situations i want to remember. Let's take, for example, this receipt from the laundry. It comes from the day i drop my cup of milk on my coat. I was very worried, and my mom said "Why don't you go to the laundry? They can clean it for you" So, i went from the first time in a laundry shop, i asked for it, and they told me i wair untill next morning. And so i did. I was relieved, and my coat was cleaner than ever.
Or this empty bottle of Cola-Cola. It has a funny blue color, because it was from a limited summer edition, and i bought it in our way back to Santiago from Coquimbo, more speciffically in Huentelauquén, a town well known for its cheese factory. I drank it with some cheese pasties. WOndrfull moment.
So, what can i say? I'm just a citizen who needs things to remember his own life. Like if having a brain wasn't enough....
