Try to put your heads around this one. I have this thing called a memory box. In fact, now I have two of them. They are used for keeping things that I don't want to get rid of but don't have enough mass to provide themselves with their own container. To better realise how random the memory box is let me rattle off ideas of things that are inside of this so you can better help me aide a solution.
- A wallet my step-Father gave me from Mexico
- A multiple-page "tell off" letter from an old friend.
- Old CD covers to Marilyn Manson albums
- Stacks, and stacks of Greeting Cards
- A "collector tin" of a pack of Camels from back in the day (Remember Camel Dark Mint?)
- Subway passes from when I visited Manhattan in 2001
- Keys to the hotel we stayed in Manhattan
Reality calls for me to condense this space of "memorabilia" from my life. I'm pretty sure I can shave down many of the elements down to a trim, but I have a dilemma. The Greeting Cards. What do I do with the greeting cards? I thought I would turn to the community for an opinion.
I've always kept every card I got? For reasons being I couldn't bring myself to keep just cards from Person X when I'm just tossing out cards from Person Y. Isn't it true that one of those cards you might have received over the years from one random person? You don't have a collection of cards from them so why should you save this ONE? I need feedback. Do I keep all my cards or do I toss them all? My Grandmother pulled out Valentines Day cards from her husband from the past thirty years and it was a great time to sit back and read them, so what should I do?
Your opinions please, thanks in advance.
