Shit that needs to get done

I wish I wasn't such a sentimental foolish, potato.. Sorting out through my stuff, wouldn't have been that difficult. I have been trying to sort out some papers to see which I need to get rid of, and which I will take with me to Canada. This has been going on for like a few days now, when anyone would have finished this task in two hours max.. It is because I linger and get nostalgic...I think, and then I sip coffee... then I listen to some music, and have a cry... and I think over and over again if I should throw something..

Some papers remind me of bad days... really bad days. Like when I first moved into my new apartment, only two weeks after my mother passed away, and I was feeling lost and out of place... There were a lot of things that I had to do for the first time in my life, and I wasn't sure how they are done... Something as silly as getting a filter for the water for example... and, I am not saying that figuring out that stuff is difficult, but when you are not in a good mental state to begin with, and are already feeling alone/insecure/unsupported and are mourning a loss, then these simple stuff become huge tasks...

But that's not the point... Point is, Why do I need to leave papers that remind me of that day???? Or other days at the hospital with my mother?? Like really, what good could come out of it...

....But I want to keep them.. YET I DO NOT WANT TO CARRY WITH ME ALL SORTS OF CRAP. I want a fresh start, and I don't want this mess of things lying around.

The Syrians have a word to describe someone with a heart like mine, and i just love it, but it is very difficult to translate to English... In a way, we could say, "torn up heart" but I don't think it is the right fit... Whatever.. shit needs to get done.. I think I will try throw things away, because in a couple of years, I will probably not remember that I had them...

If there is stuff you can't decide if you'll need/want later, you could always scan or photograph them and stick it in your email or a docs folder on the computer.

@AntisocialTroll Yea I did that with many photo albums.. I scanned and will leave the actual photos here. Somethings can't be exactly scanned though.. or won't be the same if scanned.. but it is a good idea, I might scan the things that i feel would like to have at least a soft copy of.
I think AntisocialTroll suggestion is a solution. You can create a new Google account and verify it, you can have up to 4 accounts. Then scan those papers and upload them on Google drive and just save the email and password somewhere so you can access it if when you want to.

Be ruthless, throw it out if in any doubt. Its SO easy to drag useless crap around the world, and so frustrating
