Does anyone else have a hard time letting go of sentimental things?
I have way too many toys and trinkets from my childhood, and I want to substantially reduce - but every time I hold an object, the memories of taking it to the park, or on a road trip, or the friend who gave it to me, just makes me heart ache at the thought of giving it away.
I know I can take pictures of these toys, write down my memories of them - but actually holding them is so different from having a picture. I don't want to cling so desperately to the past and to material possessions but there are so many times I've let something go, only to re-buy it years later to get it back - and it isn't the same when it wasn't the one I personally played with all those years ago :')
