More than just a stack of credit cards amongst crumpled receipts

My wallet is stuffed full of many things that I'm not even sure what's in it. In a way it does create an image of my identity. It carries things of both materialistic importance and things that I actually have a great attatchment too.
While to others it may look like I am incredibly unorganized (which I'm not, it's just my purse and my wallet are a bit out of order) and I keep things that really should just be thrown out. Some of these things actually have some meaning, ticket stub's from my first date with my boyfriend who I love very much, a fortune from Chinese with my family which has seemed to have some relevance to it and many many receipts simply because I save all my receipts.
My wallet is full of cards, old school ID's all the way from middle school, credit cards, punch cards, business cards, savings cards and I'm sure other kinds of cards. From looking at my cards you can definantly tell I like to shop, maybe a little to much, you would also know just from the cards that I love Staples (as in the store). From both the amount of esspresso stand cards and receipt's I have for coffee, anyone could easily see that I drink a lot of coffee.
Also in my wallet I have notes. Some of these notes are written by me because I love to write and when something comes to mind I just have to get it down anywhere. The other notes are to me, that mean a lot to me which have been there for a long time, a few are from children I used to sit for, I love kids and the notes they have written me (or drawn me in some cases) mean a so much to me. I also have notes from friends and my boyfriend which remind me of how much they mean to me. Just as important as the notes are the photos I keep in my wallet of close family and friends, my relationships with the people I love is what I value the most and you can definently tell by the pictures I keep. I never really realized how much my wallet says about me.
