Am I a hoarder or a loser?

I've kept the skateboard I rode back in the late 70s/ early 80s. I only have to look at it and I'm right back there.

Alpine sports deck
Californian slalom trucks
Lime green translucent Kryptonic wheels

What can't you let go of?

I keep gifts. They’re the physical representation of a time someone thought about you when you weren’t in front of them and that has always squeezed my heart. There’s a lot of random shit in my house. 😂 I think it’s lovely you kept your skateboard. The things that make us happy are worth keeping. 🙂👍

@JustNik It was a birthday gift my mum and dad couldn't really afford. I remember the trip to the specialist shop and having the board made up with all the different parts I'd researched. The board gave me 5 years of joy and passion, doing a sport in which I made new friends. For that I love my parents. It's only my mum left now. She knows I still have it. Xx

@Ironicman oh that’s just beautiful. It’s perfect that you still have it. ❤️❤️❤️
