YOU ARE SO ANTIQUE!

Oh dear! Oh, my goodness, oh my goodness!

All these sounds accompanied Sally while opening her dowry chest. As she opened the chest, five generations of belongings came out. Each generation had a piece, from her grandmother to her great-great-grandmother.

Who knows how many times she had re-arranged her chest. She never got bored looking at the same things over and over again. As always, she started with the ones that were easy to place. Bed linens… Her grandmother had so many hand-embroidered laces that she had taken some of them to her tailor friend. She had asked her friend to make her a bed linen, a tablecloth, and a baby bed linen.

When she showed it to her friends, they said, “Sally, for God’s sake, people don’t use these things anymore.” Sally was a little upset, but she didn’t mind too much. She didn’t care about what people said. Eventually, she would continue doing what she wanted. “Antique” was Sally’s nickname among her friends. Of course, a person who valued old things so much couldn’t have a dowry full of modern things. “Oh dear! If old things were in fashion light from heaven would illuminate the flea market. They don’t appreciate them!”

Throughout her life, Sally had been an “old-fashioned” woman. She would watch nostalgic films, listen to popular old musicians, and choose words that had been forgotten. Unlike her friends, she had no interest in new films, new venues, or anything new. She would go to cafes she had been going to for years. She would order things that she knew, for sure, were good. Her friends would say, “We’ve been going to the same place for years. It is getting old!” However, for Sally, the past had meaning and effort. How could a person live if they forgot their past?

How could they plan their future without knowing where they came from?

People cannot plan their future without knowing, understanding and learning from their past. If people thought only about their future, without looking back, they would feel like falling off a cliff. What is present should be protected first. Protecting what is present...

The wedding was near, and they still hadn’t settled into the house. As the wedding day approached, her arguments with her fiancé Hank kept on going, and Sally was now convinced. “Yes, this guy will surely get bored of me in the future. He won’t value me when he finds someone better.” She even said this to Hank’s face because, when he saw the lacework, she placed in the living room and said, “This is like my grandmother’s house.”

-You don’t value the old at all. Always new, always new! How far can you go with new? After a few years, you’ll get bored of me and start looking for a new wife too!

-My dear! What does this have to do with anything? How did you come to such a conclusion?

No. No matter what he said, he couldn't convince Sally. He hurt her, and Sally didn't forget things easily. Who knows after how many years she still be reminding him of these arguments? However, Hank didn't care much about such things and already forgot about this argument. His excitement about the wedding came over the problems. He only had dreams of the life they would live in a few months.

Hank was Sally’s opposite in many ways. After all, wasn’t that how it was? Opposites attract each other. As much as Sally loved the old, he loved new things. He knew the names of all the latest technological devices. After all, he was an industrial designer. New was his job and it was necessary to follow the market. There was a future in new and one never got bored with new. New was constantly changing and Hank was good at keeping up with the change.

There was nothing stationary in life either.

Why would someone get stuck on something when everything was changing every second? He thought about his office life five years ago. Now, he could work from both the office and home. Even this changed his life. He adapted to the change right away. A similar change happened at Sally’s workplace, but Sally couldn’t get used to it. “How can you work from home, my dear? A new trick to old dogs…” she said and rushed back to the office at the first opportunity. Yes, maybe it was good for people to have routines and habits. So how could one adapt to changes beyond one’s control in this way? Shouldn’t one be a little flexible?

As much as Hank was passionate about the new, Sally was also fond of the old. While he lived according to the flow, his future wife lived within a certain order and framework. As much as Hank's dreams about the future occupied his thoughts, Sally's memories occupied her thoughts.

While Hank was wondering about these questions, his phone rang. It was his close friend Aaron.

- Hank, how are you, what are you doing? You are immediately coming to the location I sent you.
