βHaha I loved opening this box! I had kind of expected there to be nothing interesting in there, so I was really surprised at it all. Most of it just made me laugh. The notes and letters were interesting to read and it's so funny to see how young and naive I was back then A lot of the small trinkets are things I recognized but figured I had just tossed out or something. It's weird seeing something you remember having when you were younger, but haven't seen in 15 years. I have a bad memory and people can say what they want, but I honestly didn't remember what I put in this box. It was a lot of fun unpacking it. I made this when I was 12, so heading into 8th grade. High school is where things get real and I didn't have the best high school experience to be honest. So it actually is really nice to see how much fun and colorful my childhood was. Brings back good memories, instead of just dwelling on my sad high school experience.β
