Bulletin Boards

There is a bulletin board above my desk that is more for picture, tickets, and memories than reminders.  I was looking at the bulletin board the other day and began to think of the way our mind works with memory.  I started looking at the memories on the board and realized that if i hadn't saved most of the pictures, ticket stubs, etc I would never think about the memories I stored while acquiring them.  Its funny the way that our imagination works with pictures and visuals as well.  Every picture you see your brain makes a copy of it, more for some than others.  Like when you read a book everyone has a different image in their head of what the monster, the house, or the person looks like.  There are things stored in my head that I have never experienced but because of images I can imagine what that would be like.  I am acknowledging this because I want to remember everything I have done, and these pictures, tickets, posters etc. all help me visualize my memories.   Through my bulletin board I live in the past.
