R.I.P. Childhood: Souvenirs
by Janna Lopez

This is not a traditional book. It’s a return.

R.I.P. Childhood: Souvenirs is a 68-page book, thoughtfully designed, highlighting a collection of single words and evocative images drawn from 1970s ephemera—objects, textures, and moments that once lived quietly in our everyday lives. Each page is an invitation for YOU to remember.

Before the internet. Before social media. When presence wasn’t technologically prompted—it was life.

Created in the wake of loss and reflection, this book honors the simplicity, imagination, and freedom of growing up in an analog world. It taps into something deeper than nostalgia—it reconnects you to the essence of who you were before the noise.

These aren’t just images. They are portals. To relax. Remember. Rejoice.

As you move through the book, you’ll find yourself recalling your own “souvenirs”—memories, feelings, fragments of a life that shaped you. What you remember becomes the souvenir itself.

This book shared as a downloadable pdf and offered on a donation basis as an open invitation—to slow down, to feel, and to reconnect with the part of you that still remembers how to be fully alive.
