Yeah, I'm not going to remove my room of all childhood possessions but I really need to get rid of a lot of stuff,
I'm a total pack rat and one of those people who always thinks "hey, maybe one day I'll use this again." I'm sure I'm going to use this joke book with 101 shark jokes again or music robot that plays cassettes again.
More than anything I just need to grow up though, my room has barely changed since I was 12. Can't be wishing things were how they were anymore, gotta start looking ahead and where I am today. Getting new things isn't a crazy idea either, I have a shirt from 1st grade in my drawer still (It was big when I was little so it still fits, but still:
If I want to move forward I need to start making changes like this. Memories are memories, they should stay as such at best, not as something I see as a potential future, which is what I am telling myself if keep them around. I'll never get rid of the stuffed tiger I've had since the day I was born, but the box of stuffed animals under my bed can go now. Let some other kids enjoy them.
