Library of senses

I have a collection of memories, stored in senses. A tape of music from a younger me, a moisturiser that reminds me of another place and time, photographs that immediately make me feel close to other people and a kalaedoscope of past feelings.

I keep them all in a box in the loft.

There are diaries there too that help me to pin down a random feeling, memory or thought.  It helps to get rational with this library sometimes – it helps to have a catalogue system, or its all just clutter.

I like to keep my history. Its like a little holiday, to somewhere familiar.
