Keep


We hold. We preserve. We possess the materials we associate with our memories. They become representations of our past. To keep our memories, we maintain our possessions. We retain our belongings to avoid losing parts of us. We collect. We hoard. We accumulate these memories that have lost meaning, until we are possessed by our possessions and we belong to our belongings.
