Love Letters to Forgotten Things
Love Letters to Forgotten Things is a series of lyrical reflections, strange monologues, and tender tributes to the lost and nearly-lost moments of our shared past. It's for the things we remember quietly, in car rides and in grocery store aisles. The moments we thought no one else had held onto—but did. We write to the scuffed plastic of Trapper Keepers. To the last golden hour of summer vacation. To the sound of a local DJ’s voice echoing through a putt-putt golf course at 10 p.m. on a Tuesday.

The Harbor - Finding Safety, Memory, and the Courage to Let Go 24.06.2026 2:07

First Action Movie - The Double Feature Was the Film and My Father 27.05.2026 2:20
Before we understood plot twists or box office records, we sat in the glow of something enormous—next to someone who knew what it meant. This is a tribute to that first cinematic thunderclap.

Time Capsule - Holding On to What Time Won’t Let Us Keep 20.05.2026 2:02
What do we hope to preserve when we bury the past? In this episode of Love Letters to Forgotten Things , Bunny recalls the day he sealed grief inside a homemade time capsule—believing memory, love, and loss could be frozen in the earth until the future was ready.

Coffee Houses - Jazz, Notebooks, and the Corner Booth That Changed Everything 13.05.2026 3:38

Those Who Forgot - When You Remember Them, but They Don’t Remember You 06.05.2026 1:57

Misfit Machines - When Freedom Looked Like Plastic Tires and Skinned Knees 22.04.2026 2:15
Before we had bikes, we had vehicles of chaos —plastic beasts and wobbly wonders that squeaked, skidded, and sometimes bounced us straight into the gravel. In this episode, Bunny salutes the tricycle, Big Wheel, Inchworm, Hoppity Hop, and Sit & Spin—those glorious misfit machines that didn’t just move us… they made us feel unstoppable.

The Mercy of Forgetting - Memory, Loss, and the Quiet Grace of Letting Go 08.04.2026 2:42

Satanic Panic - The Day We Learned Adults Could Lose Their Minds Too 25.03.2026 3:15
They called it the Satanic Panic, but to us, it was just Tuesday — metal riffs, dice rolls, and cartoons that couldn’t summon darkness. While the grown-ups scrambled in fear, we were just trying to find ourselves in the shadows.

Holding On - Letting Go - When Letting Go Feels Like Disappearing 25.02.2026 2:27
Why keep telling stories no one asked for? Because letting go feels like forgetting, and forgetting feels like disappearing.

Forbidden VHS - The Movie We Weren’t Supposed to Watch, But Did Anyway 18.02.2026 2:14
It wasn’t just a movie. It was a rite of passage smuggled into a VCR after dark. A pool scene we weren’t ready for, a laugh we couldn’t muffle, and the kind of late-night thrill that turned slumber parties into secret societies. This is a tribute to the tapes we weren’t allowed to watch… and watched anyway.
The Ones I Once Held - Every Person We Loved Becomes a Memory We Carry 11.02.2026 3:05

Band Shell Dance Club - Dancing Under Floodlights When the World Slept 21.01.2026 2:33
Before every night could be live-streamed, before every moment was documented, there were places where magic happened in the dark. In the late 20th century, a small group of night owls claimed a hidden white band shell in a public park as their secret dance club. No invites, no bouncers—just mix-tapes, boombox speakers bouncing music against plaster, and shadows stretching across a moonlit stage....
To My Brother - A Letter to the Sibling I Never Got to Meet 14.01.2026 3:41

Johnny's Birthday Castle - The Tiny Key That Made Every Kid Feel Celebrated 07.01.2026 3:45

Maybe Next Year... - From Bold Promises to Gentle Prayers for Tomorrow 31.12.2025 3:00

This is a love letter to New Year’s resolutions: the ones we kept, the ones we didn’t, and the fragile, beautiful hope that dares to return again and again.
