They close with four traits the most memorable experiences share, from first moments to time outdoors in every season. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.lifeandwhim.com/first-moments-blog/2018/why-experiences-over-things-get-better-with-time Quotes to ponder: "In short, while we quickly adapt to new material possessions and they lose their 'shine,' experiences get better with time." "The most lasting and positive memories don't come from acquiring something new, they come from doing something new." "Happiness. Contentment. Balance. These are all qualities that we aspire to. Often we overcomplicate how to achieve them."
