Starting to clear the attic. Stuff should have never gone up there but they are hard for me to part with. Not a hoarder but some things have significance to me. No one will care past me. Example, my sister made a papery mache turkey in grade school. We had it on our Thanksgiving table every year growing up. After she passed my sister and I couldn't decide what to do with it. Anyone else have issues?

I still have every bicycle my girls had from 3yo to 16yo in the garage.
I don’t think I’ve ever thrown anything worth more than $25 away.
My parents were post WW2 rationed Brits in far north East Yorkshire which is prone to flooding and resulting potential month long isolation until the main roads to other towns cleared. They never threw away anything worth more than $10….and recycled everything including the cardboard from cereal boxes and the aluminum you remove from small yogurt containers…every tea bag and coffee ground was mulched into compost for the farm.

I still have a Whitesnake T-shirt ABQ Patty wore stored away in a box, every time I run across it still smells like her perfume.

save anything YOU think is important or just worth it.
while I was in the Navy, everything I owned including a substantial coin collection (uncle gave it to me) and a new kawasaki 175 enduro (thanks for stealing it lil bro!) was either trashed or given away, the bike ended up in vo tec shop never to be seen again.
sometimes personal reasons are valid.

What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

Did your family really dislike you?

We've been getting rid of stuff we haven't used in years. I was considering getting rid of some guns but I came to my senses.
