I have a bunch of them, mostly stuff from particularly nostalgic periods in my life. I get sentimental so easily haha. I still have this really old fleecy coat I’ve had since I started school. I’d never give it up even though it’s not my style anymore as I mostly wear puffer coats now
I have an old tie from my late grandfather, that was part of his uniform while working for the railways. My entire family is basically a rail family, as I’m the third or even forth generation working for the railways. At that time, working for the railways was deemed prestigeous, it gave you a status and a sense of pride and public duty. Since my grandfather played without a doubt the most influential role in my life and shaping me as I am today, being the only person in the world always there for me, unconditionally, this tie is something I have to remember him, and also kind of a passed legacy for me to continue towards our shared professional passion…
Fuck it, I’m literally sobbing right now…
