Good morning. 🍂🌿🍃

3 April 2025

I have a framed picture above my desk, a simple print in a cheap frame that was given to me by my former employer. I've been thinking about replacing it with one of my own photographs—some of which I’ve had printed and framed by Pixels. Over the years, I’ve accumulated a collection of old framed items and mementos, mostly from my Army days. I’m not sure what to do with them. I can’t bring myself to throw them away, but I don’t have anywhere to display them, and even if I did, who would see them? They once adorned the "I Love Me" wall in my office. Now, they’ve become one of those dilemmas you tuck away in a box, promising to deal with later. What do you do with these kinds of keepsakes when you’re ready to move on from them?

"Sometimes I would see them not as mementos of the blissful hours but as the tangible precious debris of the storm raging in my soul." - Orhan Pamuk

@Swede1952 as they do have a history and still mean sth to you, 'talk' to you, it's probably best to take them out of their frames and collect them in a box.
This way they'll take up less space but you can still look at them (before deposing). I am keeping and storing too. Seems I can't say good-bye 🙄
