What are of the most valuable things that you own?

[Toa Metru Matau]

Question above. Is there anything that you would consider very valuable to you that you own??? Answers like family or pets or your significant other or your own home or things people need in order to survive don’t count. I mean the first things that you would try to save from a fire (if possible).

I’ll give you an example and pictures of a few things that I consider very valuable to me:

Like my Fiona Apple Extraordinary Machine vinyl record:

Because if I had to pick my favorite vinyl record that I own, it’d be this album as I am a huge fan of this album and Fiona Apple’s first three albums in general and if I could pick a vinyl record or one item to save from a fire (if possible), it’d be this.

One of the things I consider very, very valuable is my necklace Christian cross, that I got from my grand grandmother months before she passed away. It helps me to feel she's with me wherever I go, and that she will watch from above when I graduate college, which she always dreamed of witnessing personally. This Christian cross symbol I am always wearing, everyday, also helps me with a sentence I use in tough or stressful situations --- "be comfortable being uncomfortable" ... As well as seeking a deeper connection and getting closer to God. And her mother (my grand grand mother's mother) was native from the tribe Pataxó in Brazil, so I also have a Pataxó tribe necklace that I also wear since I have a big interest in knowing and getting closer to natives spirituality, beliefs, symbols... Which are a sign of many things --- resilience, bravery, sense of community, nature contact and protection...

So I'm both Christian and at the same time trying to also get closer to natives beliefs and spirituality, since I believe being Christian doesn't mean not being open to other beliefs and spirituality, rituals... I believe having both and getting closer to both deepens my faith in both, as I don't believe that there's an universal truth, I believe all forms of spiritual beliefs, traditions are true, only some make more sense to some groups, while others, to others groups... And I think recognizing it is a big step towards living in harmony... When the belief that "wearing other symbols that aren't Christian, thus heresy" arrives, it's when intolerance comes in...

I am not sure. I have a lot of things I consider valuable, such as the ashes of my cats and things like that. My wedding ring and engagement ring, the first necklace Jay got for me (I almost never take it off). I have a box of all out memories in it like anniversary cars and things we gave each other when he was not in the US yet and we were still LD.

Price: my guitar gear

Sentimental: a knitted Pikachu my late grandma made for me 25 years ago

Price and sentimental: my retro game and console collection (several Super Nintendo's, N64s, PS1s, Gameboys... several other things)

Not much anymore. I used to own a metric fuckton of video games and manga but I’ve become far less materialistic than I used to be and now I only own a handful of video games and systems.

I guess if I had to pick another valuable thing of mine, it’d be a ton of my baseball cards especially this 2006 David Ortiz card:

Yeah, if I had to pick my favorite baseball card that I own, it would my Big Papi card from 2006. He was hard not to even as a Yankees fan.
