I think big picture in the way that I can't wait to reach that big picture. I get overly excited about the future, about the things to come, so much so that I don't really live in the present. I think big picture, but I don't think of all the little pieces I need to…
I've never had a good memory and I've never had a huge attachment to places. But if I have a token of a place or a photo of a time, then I'm able to remember the event more clearly. I collect things from important people and places I go and I've become very sentimental. I…
