material girl

retracing his steps, he took a breath. he was only concerned about his last night's endeavors. he had to back track to find his missing pieces. he searched in all the places he never would have thought to search. although this seemed to be a good strategy, his tactics had failed him. he was then left only to search in the most obvious and accessible places. only then would he be able to fully scope the spots he'd been. first attempt failed, on to round two.
 
he just had to find  it.
the object he had come to love,
the object that held value in both dollars and sentiment.
he had lost his favorite charm.
he had lost his lucky charm.
and it was not the cereal kind of lucky charm.
it was something
                          far more expensive.
                          far more important.
                          far more worthy of finding.
 
but, what's an object worth, anyways? is an object's value determined by it's maker? is it determined by it's father or founder? by the keeper or the creator? by the audience it entertains? by the moral wealth it reinstates? by the moments it creates?or the time that it will take to replace a feeling? what and who determines it's value? how do you decide how this object will abide by our currency?
 
  1. simply, an object's value is determined in it's own way.
  2. individually every thing will be priced and protected,
  3. to the significance of it's monumental value.
 
although, objects are just things.
and things are just decorations, articles and items.
but somehow they become the strains that pull on our heart strings.
 
sentimental value, idealistic and realistic.
a long line of ribbon, sewn to memory banks.
regardless of cost or moral impact,
 these objects are still just objects.
we value them based on the lonley,
verifiable truth that they create for us.
memories we value. thoughts we want to stay.
if i lose my most precious charms,
 my memories will not be harmed.
