W.A.C.K.E.D.-Get a Grip

The saying "it is the simple things that make us happy" is true.  No one can argue otherwise, nor would want to.  It is our nature to take the complex and boil it into the most easily tangible thing our psyche can digest.  Relationships represented by things like rings, a pocket knife, a watch, or a picture.  It isn't always the thing as it is the memory it links us to.  We extend this into many realms of our lives by the things we choose to buy and use.  Things that may have no direct link to people in our lives as much as other things that are bound to our memories.  Some part from our first car, a certain t-shirt, a pair of shoes.  Of course, inherent in all this is how things, memories and relationships are all woven together in a very complex fabric that can only be kept in fragments over time.
