(Bet you this is something no one on here has thought of before.) Like you I've accumulated lots of t-shirts from former employers, organizations, concerts, conferences. So I bought a scrapbook and cut up the front/back of each shirt to fit the scrapbook and adhesive sprayed them on. It allows me to keep lots of t-shirts that hold special memories for me but in a very compact way (they sit on my bookcase) that I can look at now and again. Make a shirt book!

This issue is one that drives almost every decision I make right now. I find I want less and less that tethers me, and that the more I release, the purer and lighter I feel. My suggestion is to do what I'm doing now. I look at everything as something that can go. Nothing is sacred - no matter how long I've had it or what kind of emotional attachment I think I've attached to a "thing." I'm not throwing out anything that I believe someone else could find joy in, or could use in some way. It feels good to let go. It's healing.
