Keep only the things that really matter even from a sentimental point of view. For example I keep gifts from late family members, close friends, statues or pictures of my pets (especially the ones who are deceased).<br \/>\nGifts from people you were close to in the past and fell out of touch later, you can keep if they are useful. But if you don&#39;t use them I suggest you remove them from your house, as they represent a thing from the past, so you should not need them in your life any longer. And if you love looking at it to remember the good old days, you can keep it I guess. But if there is too much, try to sort them and remove some. Think of this: are they really so important if you can&#39;t remember these memories without this item?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Irena J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well you see, I\u2019m not good at keeping in my emotions so I made an acronym to help me.
