But I think I am getting to a point in my life where I need to figure out what kind of stuff is important enough to keep, what is important enough to pass along and what stuff needs to go.
For someone who has restarted their life a few times I think I own too many things that I need to figure out what to do with--I don't mean important documents like birth certificates, taxes, college diplomas and stuff like that.
I mean things like:
1. Yearbooks
2. Photo albums
3. Mormon Scriptures (from seminary, mission and post life).
4. Mission journal (cringe)
5. Other journals (cringe, cringe).
I don't think my children will be interested in a lot of that stuff--they're not religious and not interested in anything relevant to my Mormon lifetime.
Most of that questionable stuff is boxed up.
I hate throwing away books--yes even most Mormon books to be honest--but I am also aware enough to know that not all books have the kind of value to pass along.
So what should I do?
Sell?
Donate?
Throw away?
If I had my way I'd probably do a huge bonfire and throw most of that stuff in it--but they really don't do many bonfires where I live.
But at least I've written about it--maybe I can start doing something about it for 2022.
