How much of your past life material goods do you keep?

I feel like I used to be somewhat nostalgic and/or sentimental about keeping things, but in the past few years of my life I have gotten away from that vibe.

I guess that’s pretty much the military’s doing… Plus I’ve gotten married and so things from my past (like from females) have pretty much been done away with.

I try to keep all of the books I come across, which hasn’t been too many since I’ve been in the service, but I do have a growing collection. I still have my N64 that I bought from Gamestop back in like 05. I don’t plan on ever letting it go.

I can’t really think of too much that I’m holding on to right now simply for the memory. Pretty much everything that I possess has a use. The only things purely emotional are all of the letters and gifts from my now wife.

Like AznSkater mentioned I do try to recycle everything that I no longer need. If something has no use for me anymore, I try to recycle it.

I tend to keep stuff, not for any sentimental reason, but because I put it somewhere then forget about it.
Since moving to Australia though, I try to clean out the old crap every few months, because I don’t want to create a home/breeding ground for spiders.
