Although Americans have a disposable attitude, there are some objects that we hold on to because they hold sentimental value. But is it okay to love an object less for what it actually is and more for the memories associated with it? What inanimate objects do you cling to and why?
At this point in my life, I don’t have anything that holds any extreme sentimental value. However if I had to pick an object that holds a lot of memories for me, it would be my backpack. I got this backpack at the beginning of seventh grade after going through five backpacks in sixth grade. This backpack has gotten me through junior high, high school, and two years of college, in addition to traveling with me to Bulgaria and South Africa. This backpack has been with me through at lot. It’s not something I immediately think of when I look back on my life, but when I consider it, it has always been there for me carry my stuff.
