The withered leaves collect at my feet

[cyrano]

I think part of the reason there is so much CRAP in my life is that I collect mementos or notes or reminders of events or people in the past because otherwise, as soon as those events or people fall out of my mind, they're gone and there's nothing I have to bring them back.

I have one of my dresser drawers dedicated to items which are too sentimental for me to part with. Whenever it fills up, or when I move, I go through it and see if I can part with any of it. So far, it works pretty well, although I run out of space for clothes sometimes since I'm clogging up a drawer with crap.
