BY DATE: EVERYTHING ELSE, EARLIEST TO LATEST
The 624 pieces that are not songs or poems: essays, lists, notes, books, CDs, art, keepsakes. 563 have an age line and are ranked here, earliest first. 61 are not dated yet; they are at the bottom, by number.
The order is rough. Each line shows what the card says, word for word. "By age 33 at the latest" means it may be older than its place here. Pieces with the same age range are in yellow binder order: inside one letter that is the order they were written in (after the first few ranked lines of that letter); one letter does not compare to another. The big grey number is its place in the order. Click a piece and you are there.
