Hyperception is like cag and the others. That's why we pay for two storage rooms, plus have a shed full of stuff at FIL's and a laundry room full of stuff here.
I'd have to list about half of the things in my house, and most especially my wardrobe. No matter how often I clean things out, I seem to have an entire mountain of things that I really don't need.
I recently started a purge of my house and found that I have most of all the things that most of my ex-bfs ever gave me, including the sappy "Ilove you" cards that I got when they still did. I find the purge of these items kind of sad yet releasing at the same time.
i have broken electronics and pieces of electronics for sculpture. people now give this stuff to me. i keep it in boxes in my den. julie keeps threatening to toss it.

I do the same thing.
I also keep every instruction manual to everything I ever buy that requires one. But I NEVER look at them.
Almost everything I own (except for my books) is something I keep and don't need. But I still want all (well, most) of it!

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Life is a waste of time
Time is a waste of life
So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life

My ex-fiance made me get rid of everything that I had from previous relationships--down to most of the pictures I had taken over a 4 year period when I was with a prior boyfriend. My ex is the jealous type.

The majority of mine were old shirts from high school that I don't care about anymore except for three that have special significance. A lot of old ones that sort-of fit also, but I have plenty that fit perfect, so I don't need 'em.
