Just keep them! I still have a box of toys I keep in storage that I look into every few years for nostalgia. There's no shame in it my friend.
Keep it. Put it away. Storage. Anywhere, but keep it. They don't make your toys anymore and the only way you'll ever be able to show them to anyone 20 years from now is to pull yours out.Sean Hollyman said:I apologize if it sounds a bit silly but bear with me.
How did you deal with letting go of your favorite childhood posessions, if you did? When I was a wee kid I had this yellow Teddy bear called Sean Thomas, I loved it he was the best.
Fast forward a few years and my mum finds a box in the attic with a lot of my old stuff in it, and what do you know, Sean Thomas was there. Now I'm 18 and moving out soon, so keeping the stuff would be looked on as silly. But I just can't bring myself to part with them and I find myself getting pretty attached. How did you bring yourself to do it?
Everything is material and all meanings are created. Many times those meanings are attached to possessions, sometimes in the form of triggered memories.Treeinthewoods said:Material possessions are meaningless.
Well I keep as much as I can. Sentimental value is great, as you can take one look, one smell or one feel and you'll remember everything like it was yesterday.Sean Hollyman said:I apologize if it sounds a bit silly but bear with me.
