Cleaning up your life/past

Does anyone else have a space where all their personal clutter collects? Between roughly 6th grade and 13th grade (first year of post-secondary), all of my clutter ended up getting stuffed into my desk's drawers. This included a wide variety of objects from casette tapes, school notes/tests, social/love notes (many of which were somewhat painful to review), old electronics, magazines for masturbation, guitar tabs, sheet music, magazines, books, a ton of photos (numbering over 500) and even more sports cards, computer discs and a ton of other shit.

Today, on a suggestion from my mother, I decided to take cleaning a step further and purge my desk of all the old life shit that was worthless. Basically, if it wasn't some kind of fact sheet, photo, art/office supply, or something currently worthwhile, it went in the garbage. Most of it was paper and glass, and I filled a garbage bag on the desk alone. I am definitely a type of hoarder so I shudder to imagine what a similar cleaning of my bookshelf, closet, and end table would show. However, my desk was definitely the most full of trash, so I thought that would make a good starting point. The stuff in those two places is a bit more recent and probably less personal.

So to give this thread a point, have you ever cleared out a space full of personal objects collected over the years? What sorts of things did you find? Did the removal of physical objects reminiscent of your past give you some kind of closure for those time periods, if you needed it at all?

i had one friend that was a hippie, and she had dreadlocks, but cut them off, so i have one of those

and one girl dyed her hair like rainbow so she made me a braid and i have that

n then just some random choppings. i dunno, i think it has sentimental value.

the dread is like 3 yrs old and it still smells like hippie.

Because Im an idiot, right?

I was just cleaning out my desk today, that's all, and it was something I expected a stronger emotional response from, but i found I was able to go through my past almost indifferently, with a handfful of strong exceptions.

In my computer room I had 2 boxes that had stuff like that such as pictures, important school work, letters, and what not. I was able to throw those away easily now it's a matter of throwing away my journals. I tend to be a writer and I tend to become attached to my journals so it's kind of hard to throw them away. I will! eventually

You have personal problems and sounds like you still live with mum and mum is steering your life. I left that stage over 30+ years ago and my mum is dead anyhow. The point here is to tell you to hike up your shorts and start doing things on your own, foremost would be leaving home.

He wasn't asking about moving out, or anything. He was only asking if there's people who have important belongings from the past.

Personally, I keep a few things. The stuff that really matters. The rest of the junk, I keep in some boxes in the garage. I don't see myself getting rid of most of what I have.
