Summary of Starlet
- Throwing away certain objects from our youth can be hard.
- For instance, the license plates from our first car.
- They can remind us of relationships with our parents.
- First cars also often remind us of independence and freedom.
- But we sometimes forget how bad those cars were.
- Nostalgia can be a useful process, but only if we remember the reality, the experience and the hope we had.
