What makes something worth keeping?

Some things pass.

Some stay.

Not because they have to.
But because they found their way to you.

In different ways.

You came across them.
They were given to you.
You chose them in a moment when something within you already knew.

And from that point on,
you keep them.

You choose them, again and again.

And over time,
they begin to carry their own value.

Not a general value.

Yours.

The kind that only you can define.

They are not there just to exist.

Something in them awakens something in you.

A feeling.
A moment.
A reason that doesn’t need explanation.

And maybe this is what makes them truly worth keeping:

You don’t just hold on to them.

They have found their own way to stay with you.
