I don't know how to unburden ourselves from years of gifts, do we really have to keep all this silver that we never polish?

@avantgame No. Give it away and never regret it for a second. Just take pictures to remember you had it at one point, and all is well. -
@avantgame@schezar Take pics ONLY if it means something to you. Otherwise, just get rid of it however you can and move on. -
@ProfBeard@avantgame I actually disagree. Looking back through old photos, it's the odd one-shots of weird mundane things that move me. -
@ProfBeard@avantgame That random picture of a silver tea service will evoke memories of the gift being received and then given again. -
@schezar@avantgame I got married. My memories are of opening a pile of presents I couldn't attribute to anyone in particular afterwards.

@avantgame if something doesn't evoke a memory, and isn't useful in and of itself, why do you have it? I had a lot of that sort of thing.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avantgame my rule, when I was shedding stuff: for each important memory, keep one thing. the rest goes.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
