I think I saw this movie--Toy Story 3. I'd keep what you have room for.

Re: When is it time to let go?

funny you started a thread like this.
I am 35 , and just the other nite I had a dream where I was probably 8 or 9 years old. it just seemed so weird. The dream was just about old times and memories.
Then i woke up and just felt sad for some reason.

Also my mom found an old cassette of me and my brother singing a muppets song. She played it for us last year i think at a party. thank god i was drunk or i probably wouldve balled my eyes out. i couldnt believe how weird it was to hear that. I was probably 6 in that cassette and my brother was 2.

its so depressing and sad.

thats the main reason i never keep anything. It brings back memories and I get all emotional.
So if that was me that found those 8 boxes, they would be going right in a dumpster.

I think it's great that you have a hard time parting with these things. It tells me you had quality of life at that time. I don't think you should get rid of the things that immediately bring to mind positive thoughts. You shouldn't cling to them and get super-nostalgic, but it is important to hold on to things that symbolize something important to you.

I tend to be very sentimental and always enjoy going through my parent's house when I visit. We lived there my entire childhood. It's like a museum to me. I won't even get into the pieces of my bedroom furniture. All those things were there in my childhood. It becomes a part of you.
