Kiosk of forgotten memories

Have you ever had something on your mind and felt that you had no one to confide in?
Ever worried about being remembered when you are no longer here?
Or simply wanted to share your personal experiences with people you don’t know?

The Kiosk of forgotten memories is a hidden secret that you stumble across in the middle of the city. It’s a safe haven, a place to escape the stresses of everyday life, where you can go and share your story or thoughts anonymously through the traditional medium of pen and paper. After writing down your thoughts, you then have a choice to either store them to share with others and maybe help others or to come back to at a later stage, or you can release them in order to heal and forget.
The kiosk is a glass structure floating in the middle of a pool of water and also has water cascading around it which not only aids its secrecy but also symbolises purification. When people exit the kiosk their soul is purified having released what was on their mind. To get to the kiosk you have to walk across frosted glass steps, softly lit, which have inspirational messages and quotes engraved into them. As you approach the kiosk, the water slowly stops, creating the illusion of a curtain opening, the user is then confronted with a mirrored wall. This wall allows the user to take in their reflection and this is a symbol of self reflection which is what they will be fulfilling in the kiosk. When the user’s hand approaches the mirror, the wall starts to move to create an entrance.
The first thing you notice on entering the kiosk, is a softly lit centre-piece with water and bubbles flowing through it and the dozens of translucent draws that occupy two walls of the structure. You then notice that each drawer is filled with notes of all different sizes and colours, some folded, others with writing that seems to be slowly fading away. When taking in the rest of the structure, you see the small desk and chair and all the different types of paper and pens arranged in the various parts of the desk.
You approach one of the drawers and slowly open it and pick a note, whilst you unfold it, you realise that what you about to read is not just letters and words, but someone’s personal story. You decide to sit down and read through the message, in a very mysterious way it seems to relate to you and what you are going through. You start wondering if it wasn’t fate that made you pick that note, that maybe you didn’t choose that letter but that that particular letter chose you in some way. After carefully folding the letter and placing it back in the drawer, you decide that it is time for you to put your thoughts on paper. You go back to the desk, sit down and choose paper and a pen which you feel is appropriate for the occasion. As soon as the pen touches the paper, you find that your thoughts don’t stop flowing and that you cannot stop writing. Once you have finished your letter, you have this strange feeling, a sense of relief, like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. You then carefully place your note in a drawer in the hope that what you have written may help someone else in some way. On your journey back up from the kiosk, you know that what you have just experienced was something very special and know that this will not be the last time that you will be visiting the kiosk of forgotten memories.
