It was filled with newspaper clippings of favourite bands, concert ticket stubs and other mementos.<\/p>\n<p>It reminded me of a time before status updates and tweets. Of pinning, tumblng, \u201cliking\u201d, and blogging.<\/p>\n<p>It reminded me of old friends, crazy shenanigans, downtown adventures, dancing all night, summer festivals, late-night 7-11 runs and road trips (to both planned destinations or nowhere-in-particular).<\/p>\n<p>There was a lot of grunge, goth, Lollapalooza, Kurt Cobain, NIN, Bowie, Bauhaus, JAMC, and The Cure. Concert reviews, pop culture, silly poetry and a glimpse into local nightlife.<\/p>\n<p>I \u201cgraduated\u201d to journaling after that (though I&#8217;ve been journaling off and on since high school), but I think I\u2019m going to get back into it. It was kind of nice to go back and remember so many good times when connection, community and commeraderie were face-to-face.<\/p>\n<p>Not that I haven\u2019t made online friendships and don&#8217;t value the connections I\u2019ve made. But I think it\u2019s time to rekindle real-life relationships and build more memories to cherish&#8230;with paper and glue, colored pens and glitter, photos, clippings and scribbling in the margins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think it\u2019s time to rekindle real-life relationships and build more memories to cherish<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5],"tags":[294,293,295],"class_list":["post-2434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-on-life","tag-life","tag-memories","tag-scrapbooking"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
