The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It’s the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.

This quote from “The Giver” by Lois Lowry reflects this odd loneliness every person bears within. However connected and surrounded by people one might be, his inner world keeps oscillating between two extremes:
it wants to remain a secret privacy of an individual,
it wants to have the world to take part on it.

We are all surrounded by our memories.We are all surrounded by things. The material and emotional constructions are interwoven inside our mind. Their eternal metamorphosis is a truth we don’t like to handle with:

Who will like the fact our memories are ever-changing and might be an “ old fake-news” for us?

The material things help the memories to stay more or less stable. And even if the memories around the things are changing — the things don’t. So I want to present you my very personal things — in my new Series “Very Personal Effects”. I will show you things and tell my personal memories…
