To be honest, I do not keep things like that. I am not my mother lol. She still has stuff from way back, when I was in Kindergarten. While I can understand the sentimental value of things, I am at that point where I dont hold onto things unless they have genuine use.

I did have this stuffed animal that I had since I was a child. I decided to gift it to my niece, and now he is chillin with her stack of stuffed animals lol.

Even my yearbooks and things like that, I trashed when we sold the house. For me, those things were just keeping me attached to the past. While I do understand holding onto those things if you had fond memories and friends from school, I never felt attached to most people at that time, so I just did not see the need to keep them.

The true sentimental things I “own”, per-se, are the memories and the people I am living the day to day with. To me, that is all I really need.
