throwing stuff out.

i find it hard to throw stuff out, i almost associate a memory, an instance, a little piece of my life that passed with every imaginable object i have come to posses. you could say that i'm a hoarder (i think i'm borderline hoarding!).

it's just hard. pieces of paper i used in college, old notebooks, blue books and even the chinese character flash cards i used when studying for exams in mandarin class i couldn't bear throw away. i enjoyed that class so much and i made a lot of friends there. but the flash cards are almost turning yellow! haha.

the mental debate of whether to throw things out or keep it is almost lop sided, the "keep" pile almost wins hands down.

CD's are another problem, they occupy space but they're so useful storing info. just this morning i was canvassing all the CD's i unearthed while packing for stuff (my brothers and i moved apartments just this week). i found data discs that contained old files from college and mix cd's that i used to listen to while studying for exams and commuting at the MRT. music is such a big vehicle to memory lane i just love it.
