When I was a child, I noticed adults and especially grandparents seemed to place a high value on "childhood memories".
So, I began to collect mementos from my childhood, not because I thought they were "special", but rather because I anticipated being nostalgic for them later in life.
At certain points throughout my adult life, I've revisited these mementos and failed to muster any nostalgia, I sort of weighed the potential pros of keeping these items (increasingly unlikely future nostalgia) against the inconvenience of storing and periodically moving (and explaining) these items.
Over time, they've either been lost or thrown away now, and only now, many years later, do I feel nostalgic for them.
But it's my sense of loss itself, my memory of the items, that actually seems sweet.
When I examined the items, they didn't "spark joy" so-to-speak, at least not in the moment.
And I know when I forget them, I will not miss them.
But I don't look forward to forgetting them.
