DEAR GOD WHY DID I KEEP ALL THE THINGS. *sorts papers ruthlessly*

I tend to keep small, flat things--like pictures and postcards and notes and letters--because I am a packrat by nature and otherwise I'll keep everything. So I limit myself to paper objects with sentimental value, which means I have a few shoeboxes for each year of my adolescence (middle school, high school, college) stuffed in my closet that my mom isn't allowed to touch.

Oh, that is a good rule--I largely do the same, especially with postcards, they're really the best way ever to bring your room/style/memories with you to a new place without ending up with difficult bulky things to ship. Oh, but then I own a million books, so I do anyway (even though I definitely don't bring them all).
