I look forward to and travel to many places, and each time I do, I leave behind items with my personal logo as my ‘travelling marks’ and memories. However, I have observed that many people around me make their ‘travelling marks’ by buying souvenirs. This prompted me to think about ‘what people want to get out of travelling’ and ‘how memories should be preserved and continued’.

In George Casper Homans' Social Exchange Theory it is shown that

So what is our original motivation (to leave a mark or take a souvenir)?

Because of the souvenirs, I felt the disappearance of my memory and had negative emotions. What is the carrier of memory? Why does it disappear?

- Psychological comfort & memory recall
Choosing and preserving souvenirs is a form of self-expression, reflecting one's interests, values, and cultural identity.
- Continuity time & framing
Souvenirs perpetuate a continuity of time, preserving moments across time.
- Self-expression & identity

Souvenirs are seen as a form of psychological comfort, able to instantly evoke memories and emotions from the past.
- Symbolism & emotional connection
Memorabilia are material symbols of memory, capturing and representing personal experiences and emotions.

Why is memory important to us?

10063664_1 — 2025-05-08 15:27:05 UTC

Why do we feel down when we lose any of our memories?

What is a good memory?

Do you have any memories you want to forget?

How do you distinguish between good and bad memories?

Do childhood memories have an impact on you?

Do you have any recent memories?

Do you think memory is another dimension?

Do you think your memories are real?
