Taking a step back and looking at this list makes me realize how I possess such an interesting variety of artifacts. They consist of the newest, advanced technology like a GoPro or a Nikon Camera but also sentimental artifacts like the picture frame with a photo of my girlfriend and I or my Crucifix. Basically the list can be broken into two categories, technology and sentiments.
The technology portion of my top ten artifacts helps me fulfill my passion of photography and amateur movie production. I use my GoPro and Nikon camera to capture video, then edit the video with my laptop while listening to music on Bluetooth sound system. These artifacts all connect and are used most often at the same time.
The sentiments are all artifacts that remind me of an special event in my life. The crucifix is a reminder of the day I was baptized and I placed it above my door so I see it every time I leave my house which reminds me how blessed I am in life. The M1 Garand round casing is from my Uncle’s funeral and the 21 gun salute that took place. It may seem like a plain old round casing but I look at it and it reminds me of him and how brave he was.
The life we live we don't get to get back, we only live it once. Society tells us that we need to strictly focus on being successful. While that is important it is also important to stop and pay attention to the little things in life too. A healthy life consists of doing things and experiencing things that you enjoy. Take a break from your busy life of being successful and just enjoy the little things life has to offer.
I take photos and make videos for fun. It is relaxing and allows me to escape the daily stress of life. We all need to escape once in a while and not forget to have fun and be happy. You only live one life, make it a good one!
These artifacts create a museum of me by telling others what my hobbies are as well as how I believe life should be lived. Take care of others and schedule time just for yourself. Life can be stressful but it can be an adventure as well. Don't forget the small things that make you who you are.
