Is it obsessive?

Naturally I forget all about what's happened. We remember ket events. I'm interested in tomorrow's.

When alone, a random reason to think about the past - clearing out junk.

Can be nice, but nothing new. Reflecting on good times - positive, or trivial?

Did find two sets of pics I'd never seen. Holidays with friends was worth doing, but not life-changing. Digging out CDs for film pics from 2002

Pics of Dad I've never seen - someone so fit I needed his confirmation who it was. May a few decades before I was born.

Ultimately most meaningful, two holidays with a girlfriend which was life's main milestone, embarking on my new career. If she stuck with me, life would have been rosy for both of it. Would have been great to have a third holiday. After that, there was nobody to do anything with.

I have very obsessively over the years taped 100s tv programs (still got 100s vcr tapes), and i have taken stills/cams of a fair amount of stuff. With the taped tv, i think there's just WAY TOO MUCH of it to have ever re-watched barely any of it (ie overwhlemed = put-off by = dont watch). But with my personal pics/vids (most of which are poor quality), i think that i "fear" to look at, esp if several yeras ago, in case i feel sad/etc of the losses. Or else i too busy. Or both. Or neither....
