This was a gift from a friend that passed away 7 months ago, i will never forget her and i miss her every day but the little figurine means really a lot to me.
I want to remember this picture, because it's one of the first custom controllers I made and it's now a great hobby for me. It also inspires me to keep doing better and be more creative for future controllers and consoles!
My university graduation cap inspires me for the upcoming decade because I proved to myself my strength and perseverance. I was a bit aimless and full of self doubt at times while completing my studies. However, I was able to cross the finish line and I'm glad I didn't give up. It's also a reminder to myself that patience is key (despite how fast paced life can be in other aspects).
Yeah I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be only one picture but my dog was acting too cute to just take one.
1. Why do you want to remember the contents of this picture in the '20s?
My dog is still a puppy now, and I want to remember her puppyhood forever, as chaotic as it's been. I'd also like to use this to remember the pets that came before her, my three cats. Over the later portion of this decade, we've had to put them all to sleep so I couldn't use any photos of them.
2. Why does this picture inspire you for the '20s?
If I ever need something to smile at or just to be happy about, I can look at this picture of Mitzi, my puppy, and think about how confused she was when I put the sticky note up to her face.
These are two photos from my pets who unfortunately died in this decade. My cat was very young, however had to deal with a ulcer in her stomach and therefore suffered in huge pain. She couldn't eat anymore and just hide the whole time under my bed. The vet told us that they can't help her anymore, has even a operation wouldn't save her life. So they had to put her down. It was the worst day of my life and I was so done at this point. The whole thing happened in 2012. My dog then died a few years later. She was around 15 years old, I basically grow up with her. The worst thing was that I found out about her death randomly when my grandparents told me about it. She lived with my mom, and said mom seemed to not care telling me that my dog just died (no wonder, she's a heartless monster, sorry to say that). I was very heartbroken, mostly because I couldn't see her again and also say goodbye.
Even if they are gone, I will always think about them and they will always be part of my family. These two photos are very important to me and also helping me through the 20's and further, as they make me smile and remember me about the happy times I had with these two.

This was given to me as a Christmas gift from my sister. My sister and brother both have a son and daughter, making me an uncle of four! I want to remember this for 2020 and forever, for how I felt when I got this keychain. It made me feel matured, knowing that I have four of my most favourite kids who looks upto me. I keep it near me at all times, it makes me feel happy when I'm sad and it reminds me that I'm loved each and everyday by so many people <3
I finally finished filling/decorating this bookshelf this year and I hope it inspires me to read more in the following year. I love reading so much and haven't been able to do it as much as I'd like. I want to take time for myself to sit down and enjoy books again!
This is a picture of my dog Tanuki. In 2016, I sadly lost my 16 year old pug. I will never forget him, but I had to move on. So I adopted this little dog who ended up coming with a lot of baggage. He has separation anxiety, is afraid of practically everything, has a tendency towards fear aggression, and is just a nervous, anxious dog overall. We keep working through his issues slowly to make him more comfortable. I never want to forget my promise to him when I adopted him: no matter what I will always love him and care for him and he will always have a home with us regardless of the issues we have to face.
This picture inspires me to jump off it to appreciate life as it is, as we don?t have much time on this planet so you should appreciate the little things in life and not waste the time away. To live in the moment! And to start snowboarding lol
So the thing i mostly want to keep close going into the next decade is my mom. She past away in January of 2019 and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to overcome. Her and I were essentially best friends in the years leading up and it was so hard to watch her health slip away due to cancer. Her favorite time of the year is Christmas and so the holidays have also been tough.
However I've been able to cope well I should say and thankfully i have no qualms with how she past or that I didn't do something right/ spend enough time with her. She was an amazingly sweet and kind person, and I know I get a lot of the same qualities of caring for others through her. I have these ornaments for my christmas tree and around my house to constantly remember her, but I also want to be able to live my best life in the new 20s. I know she would be proud of even everything I've done since she has past and I hope to continue to make her proud moving forward because I know she's watching over me.
We recently had to downsize to move into a smaller space (can?t take the big stuff with you) - my photo is of memory boxes of small personal effects I want to take with me into 2020 ... My Mom?s (Who grew up on the BC coast- lighthouse symbol of loving guidance) ... And Lulu?s My precious little doggie companion who was a willing participant in all my past Forum contest activities ... Memory boxes are both bittersweetly comforting and inspiring
"Why do you want to remember the contents of this picture in the '20s?"
I've had these birbs for 5 or so years, I still remember when i first got them i was completely terrified of them, but now they've become my pride and joy as well as the most important things i have the privilege of owning. Caring for these tiny buggers have changed/improved my life in ways I cannot explain and i will love/care for them even after i leave this plane of existence.
Their names are Mr. Grumpy (on the left, with the blue-ish/purple nose) and Kooka (on the right, looking away from the camera).
He has been my faithful companion as I learned my anatomical terminology and was a very helpful practical partner when I needed to practice my techniques. Why do I want to remember him? Because he was vital for my learning process as I have been in school since 2014 and now, almost 6 years later, I finally passed all my clincal exams and can practice in my field of study.
He inspires me because everytime I look at him, I'm in awe at how far I've come from when I didn't know anything about the human body, but now I know loads of stuff.
My parents got a new dog earlier this year they named Rugby, and as I get older and move around and stuff, I won't see my parents as often. After two of our dogs passed away toward the middle part of this decade, two who I both knew for over half my life, it really took a toll on them. This guy is the newest edition to the family and though I won't see my parents often, I want to remember him because I know he make my parents happy and will love them when I cannot be there to do so.
This pic inspires me for the '20s because no matter how much the world sucks for a period of time, one can always feel their heart melt at the sight of an adorable sleeping animal. And if the world can give us such a peaceful sight, then regardless of what else is going on it can't be all bad. It will also inspire me to get a dog of my own when I have the means to do so.View attachment 230218
This is the brand new TV I got this Christmas and it's a 43 inch 4k television. It made me happy my dad got me it because the last one I had was over 8 years old. This inspires me for the upcoming decade because I know I will have lots of fun playing the new Switch games on it. The last decade I felt like I was not having fun on my games. I was rushing through everything and I was trying to hard to get everything perfect on them that I forgot to have fun. I want to remember that video games are meant to be played to have fun and so a new decade on this TV and the new Switch will inspire me to have that kind of fun again.
Something that I want to remember from the previous decade is the Nintendo switch (it?s from 2017)
I want to remember it the contents of this picture for the ?20s (which I will) is because it has some of my favourite games on it. I love Breath of the Wild. I?ve beat it on 2 accounts. I started playing it right when we got the switch, which was right when it was released, because my brother likes buying consoles day of. It?s such an addicting game, and there?s so much to do. I love all the small details and just the overall look and graphics of the game. It?s visually stunning.
It inspires me for the ?20s because I thats when New Horizons comes out! I literally can?t wait until it comes out, you don?t know how excited I am. It?s going to be such an amazing game, everything about it just looks so cool. From the trailers, to the Treehouse gameplay. And they?re still continuing to add more features while we?re waiting for it to come out! It?s going to be crazy fun.
Well I didn?t want to do anything too personal on here so mine is simple.
I want to remember the loving family and friends that I have all around me and be grateful for those things rather than constantly stressing whilst looking up at what I want to achieve in life. I want to remember that not everything is in my control and that I need to look at the big picture sometimes.
I want to remember the contents of this photo in 2020 so that I remember that doggo is always available for pats and cuddles when the chips are down and to use it as a reminder of all of those who love me (didn?t want to post a pic of them so I went for the dog)
This picture inspires me in the 20?s because it?s like a keep calm poster which I desperately need. It?s inspiring to keep going and keep calm.

Realised I didn’t have a label so I took another photo of my dog Indy for the submission.
Unfortunately he has the label on his mouth in this pic but you can see the full name
Something that you want to remember from the previous decade (2010-2019): A dress I found at my old work practice place back in 2018 that I really love, I think the dress itself is way older though Looking up the brand/designer eventually led me to finding even more magical dresses(even got some other stuff from her this year), and to discover the Ibiza hippie culture which might or might not be known to people. Wearing it definitely makes me feel like a hippie queen!
Why do you want to remember the contents of this picture in the '20s?:
So I can be even more creative and embrace my inner hippie every day. While I might not design clothes in the future decade it definitely inspires me a lot to try harder to follow my creative dreams.
