Its ever so interesting they way people think,
had a friend on facebook put up a status comment inregards to wether or not you think you should burn the pictures and things of your past or to keep them for a later date....
so many people commented on it and all answered in so many different ways, in the end i agreed to disagree with the general comments and agree with a young mans comments and then he got picked on for being a man basicly so in the end i thought the whole situation was very contradicting and rather mean......
everyone has their own choices in life that is why it is your own life and everyone can deal with things how the want to deal with them the young man wrote " i choose to get rid of the past and live emotionally lite"
then a girls commented " most men do" alot of men are emotional and much more together then some women i deal with and i deal with alot of women
i wanted to slap her because i think the same as the young man and last time i checked i was a women....
and for fuck sake its facebook
there is not really alot from my past i want to hold on to, my past has already formed me into who i am today so i dont need to be reminded on the struggle and bullshit it took to get me here..... i am here now with an amazing partner by my side and a great group of family and friends why would i need reminders of my past....
but i completely agree with those who said they want to keep stuff from their past because they may want to look at again in the future and thats fine because thats their way of living and i dont judge, unlike some, the people that commented on this facebook conversation.....
people surprise me they really do.

Depends what it is I guess. I have a little box I keep things in, old letters, photos etc. I know later in life I'll look back and think "how funny" or "wow, can't believe I thought I loved my high school sweetheart"!!! I also have a shit load of diaries from about the age of 10...or earlier actually! I don't read them now, but later in life I will. I've put too much effort into them to burn them

I kind of have had both points of view on this topic. I am religious when it comes to keeping things from my past...but every few years or so, I go through the boxes of stuff that I have been holding on to, and weed out the things that I know will serve no purpose in my life/memories anymore. As I have gotten older, I have found it easier to weed those things out, I guess because of emotional satisfaction with the way that my life is right now. But I still hold on to some things. I have recently just made a decision to throw out journals that I have been keeping (and hauling around with me) for about 10 years. I think I have about 50+ that are just taking up space in my closet. I used to go back and read them every once in awhile, but found that to be really triggering for me, so I stopped...now I realize that they are just taking up space, and not really serving any purpose.
