Oh no! I hope Anaïs will continue to enjoy her dressmaking. I did the same till I purchased my first heavy-duty Singer machine. A very heavy one. Hand stitching is nice too, and fashion is so advanced that you no longer need to hem the edges of everything. Youtube heh? That's advanced initiative 😁
Yes, the majority of the stuff is at my mum's house. Anything I have in storage with my girlfriend have eluded my memory so I no longer count them. There's really no point in keep all those things. I do have a little diary left in Jamaica, that I would love to go back and read my personal letters to myself, to see how much I ave changed, and which goals and aspirations became real, and which ones I'll think WTF? My mum messaged me recently to ask me if I needed her to go through any of my logs for her to scan for me...I quickly told her not at all 🤣
Oh my, diaries left behind should be retrieved. I hope you hid them well haha. Teenage rants and venting out filled mine and my Mom read them when she decluttered. Yearbook messages would have been nice to re-visit again as well.
My mum is very noisy, so I'm sure she probably read them 😆
Yeah, a yearbook would be nice. However, I have no recollection of where I know a lot of persons on my FB friends. People grow and look completely different 🤣 and it's years that I haven't seen many of them.
What is it with nosy Moms? 😄 Maybe I'll be one to Anais who knows 🙈
Oh yes, everyone turned out to be different as we all aged and grew. Do you still remember how you looked in the school yearbook photo? And did you have that small description there of what you were like back then?
The one that I was able to salvage was a small notebook with messages from former classmates with wishes and their thoughts. Although we don't have contact with most of them anymore, it offers a glimpse of ourselves way back.
No, I don't think I have a yearbook. I recall a yearbook for my eldest sister, and I don't think the school got around to doing mine. It will be interesting what I find though. So many have passed away, even in recent years, that it might be an emotional experience revisiting those things.
I am in contact with only 2 former classmates and we communicate every few years.
I do like to read the wishes in cards from my former work colleagues though. They knew me well and accepted me for who I was, so their messages were real and reflected the authentic me then:)
It's true though, aaaah we've come to that age.😱
Hearing former colleagues' thoughts offers an authentic perspective and accurate feedback.
After almost 2 decades, in a group chat with former design firm co-workers, I recently found out that I had a habit of dropping in to assign tasks for them to do 15 minutes before lunch and I had no idea. So that explained why their desks were empty around that time haha..
Can you believe it? There's no way around it, but man, the years fly by fast.
Haha! It's so funny for your former colleagues to enlighten you now 🤣
