And what might those be?

Memories, dear lady. Memories and... dreams.

Have we met, by any chance?

I've got little patience with memories myself. They always seem to be either unpleasant or lead to unpleasantries.

Do they? I'm afraid mine always seem just beyond reach... that in itself is unpleasant, I suppose.

Irritating, perhaps. But what if they're bad memories? D'you really want them? That old chestnut about being careful what you wish for and all that.

A man is the sum of his memories...

I'm afraid I have never heard of chestnuts, but the adage seems appropriate.

Do you think so? Humm. There's whole chunks of my existence that are big blotches of grey. Suppose that makes me less of a man, eh? *grins*

Chestnuts: a form of, um, legume I think? Edible nut. 'Old chestnut' just means something hackneyed, trite, proverbial and clichéd.
