My old guitar pick collection from high school showed me something
I was cleaning out my closet last weekend and found a box with about fifty picks from when I wanted to be in a band. I had them sorted by thickness and even wrote down chord charts. That dream just faded after a few months of trying to learn, and I sold the guitar. Seeing all those picks felt like looking at a different person. Has anyone else found an old hobby box that hit you like that?

Yeah, my old sketchbooks are like that. Full of half-finished comic pages from when I was super into manga.

Oh wow, that really takes me back. I had a whole tackle box of model paints from when I tried to get into miniatures. All those tiny pots, dried up now. I ended up gluing a few finished ones to my bookshelf, just to keep that piece of the past around. It's a little monument to a try that didn't work out, you know?

Man, that's rough. I found my old skateboard parts in the garage last year and it gave me the same weird feeling. What was the specific moment you decided to sell the guitar? Was it one bad practice session, or did you just slowly stop picking it up?
