Thoughts on keepsakes. Are they really worth saving for generations?

I’m troubled.

On one hand I want to throw it all in the trash.

On the other, I feel like I’m throwing my mom’s life away…

I’ve lived with my mom who kept little stuff in our house and it’s horrible. I hate seeing pics of me on the walls. It’s so weird.
Now that I’m an adult, I try to keep our home clean and clutter free. I hate seeing many stuff on the kitchen counter. I don’t like weird diy handicrafts (sorry) I only have 4-5 pics displayed I guess in our house.

My son tends to have some drawings, paintings etc from school but I always throw most of them after a month. 😅

@BloviatingBuffoon yeah my mom loved clutter it seems, she was a bit of a hoarder. And I turned out the opposite. I loved living in the van and having almost nothing.
@AlchemyFox moms can be a hoarder indeed. (Wait, I’m a mom too!)
I always feel good when I see less things on tables , walls etc.

@BloviatingBuffoon 😆 Well yes , but if it all burnt down, would you be devastated? I know I wouldn’t 😆
@AlchemyFox I would feel bad if everything burns at the same time. But as I grow up, I just don’t have this attachment to things. However, pics of my son is another story . 😓
