Getting ready for a big move soon and trying to look around the house to see what I need to pack and what to leave behind. I spent the majority of today sitting around in the basement unearthing old boxes from back in the high school days. I found old graduation gowns, caps, and tassels with scrapbooks and pictures I kept over the years. I used to have them up on a shelf around my room, but needed the space later on. Old pictures were replaced, especially with friends I no longer keep in touch with, and it got me thinking: How do you decide what to keep and what to throw away?
I found an old trinket that a friend gave me. But I will never use this again, or ever wear it with anything. It was meaningful at the time, but now it's just collecting dust. I realize some things have sentimental value and you can just never part with them, but what about the ones from friends you'll never see again? Or if something's old and outdated, but brings back a few memories? And if you do keep it, why stick it in a box somewhere?
