the more spaces we have the more we’d want to fill it with things

I totally agree!

Sometimes it's really hard to convince the elders to let go of things. They still see value in items that have been sitting untouched for years 😫

My parents used to hold on to things too, thinking they might still be useful someday. I had to remind them that we can always buy what we need when the time comes.

It’s not easy to let go of things tied to memories. It takes courage! Glad you were able to let some of them go.
