CDs, books and photos are about the only things I keep. Every time I move I end up throwing out a dumpster worth of things.

Although... I still have boxes and a closet full of clothes in storage at my parents house. Stuff I don't wear (or don't fit into anymore ) that I know someday I may want. Lots of vintage stuff when I was a crazy dressing teen.

Oh, and old journals. Those are always good for a look-through every few years or so.

That's how I look at it.

i don't know why i keep so much stuff that causes me pain.

but i do. i love and hate looking at it.

You should have a clear out,

memorys are better than objects

lollyp0p said:

probably, but they go hand in hand sometimes.

and the chance of me ever having a clear out is a big fat zero, as you should know.

testicleman said:

i should know, you can't even throw away pizza boxes

but you make such an east target

I have saved stuff from this and that past experience, but lately I'm throwing as much as possible away. It's not that I don't want to be reminded, it's just that I'm so far away from who I was back then that I can't even relate to those events. I have to admit it took me a while to take down the pics of Christian, who I lived with for 4 years...they're all gone now though

I have kept a diary every year 4 the past 20 years, I was a kid when I started, my first crush, first kiss, first drink, first EVERYTHING are contained in those books. I also have kept birthday cards and have a collection of family photos, I don't really know what 2 do with the diaries in the end, I never wish 4 anyone 2 read them, 2 much incrimination (I haven't exactly been an angel). Now that I am looking 2 immigrate 2 the US, maybe I will hold some kind of ceremonial burning and leave my past behind me, drinking will be mandatory
