Why Holding Something Matters
Touching a physical item — a toy, a letter, a drawing — activates the default mode network in your brain. It doesn’t just help you remember. It lets you relive the moment.
Psychologists call this the Endowment Effect of the Tangible: physical objects encode emotional memory more deeply than words or images alone.
That’s why we treat everything inside your Memory Capsule with care — because each piece is more than just a thing. It’s a memory trigger. A moment marker. A quiet way back to who they were — and who you were too.
