Keep Your Sweet Memories Forever In A Creative Way
How long have you been living? Every day, new experiences come and go, people come and go. Surely you have gone through many sweet things with your friends, girlfriends, or parents. But, how do you make those beautiful memories last forever?
1. Turn your memories into art objects or jewelry.
You can be creative in creating something to refresh your memory of the sweet memories that you want to keep. Many people paste paintings and memorable photos. There are also those who frame their favorite quotes.
If you are bored with the things above, try to make something creative as possible. There's no limit! Maybe you could copy your love letter on a plate, or turn your childhood sketch into a rag doll or silver pendulum. So, they do not only function as memorabilia, but also art and jewelry items.
2. Photo albums? How about a website?
Storing memorable photos in a photo album is indeed sweet. But, why not turn the medium into a website dedicated to saving your memories? There you can write stories, poems, upload photos and videos, and anything you want.
With the internet, your beautiful memories will be stored forever. After all, you can easily show and share it with people without having to go home and grab a photo album, right?
3. The more often you tell, the more you remember!
Why historical stories that happened in the past can be immortal until now even though writing has not been found? Yes, because it continues to be told from generation to generation. Storytelling is one way to keep a memory alive in the minds of you and those who hear it. So, don't hesitate to share your beautiful memories with those closest to you.
4. Write your story in a journal.
If you are not good at telling stories, you can also write your story in a journal for you to reread later or give it to someone you love. Rereading your journal will bring those memories back to life. And who knows, one day, your journal will become something of value to someone.
5. Put travel mementos in a jar.
One creative idea you can do to remember your trip apart from keeping a journal is to collect keepsakes in a jar. You can start with a mini souvenir that is typical of the area — such as a miniature temple — then decorate it with a photo and a ticket in a jar using glue. Not bad, right, for decoration in the room.
6. Turn your patchwork of memories into a memory quilt.
Quilt is a kind of blanket that consists of three layers. You don't need to make a real quilt, just make a quilt out of memorable items. For example, you can turn committee shirts or events on campus or off campus that have piled up in the closet into patchwork and then sewn together into a blanket or quilt.
You can also print your images onto a printable fabric and then sew them together. To make it even cooler, you can also be creative with a t-shirt marker pen to make your quilt more unique.
7. Find and collect your favorite childhood items.
When we were kids, we all had our favorite things. It can be an action figure toy, an old video game, or a doll. If your favorite thing is a game, lucky you. Just download the file, then play with the emulator on your computer. If your favorite object is physical and it's a bit difficult to find, you can try buying and selling sites like eBay.
8. The easiest, use social media.
Social media is the most concrete way of today to store your keepsake photos and videos. You can upload them into albums, share them with your friends, and can access them whenever you need.
Tumblr and Google+ allow you to upload photos of any size, while Instagram and Facebook will adjust to their standard sizes. They are a good place to save your memories, because you can reminisce directly with your friends.
Want something more private? There is a Path that you can use. With Path, you can share moments with friends, then save them in a clear timeline. Through this media, you can even choose to whom we will share the moment, without having to offend friends who are not shared.
