Ive gotten rid of 100 year old cookbooks of my great grandmothers, paintings my father has painted me, my holly hobby oven ( or science experiment encourager, you didn’t ahve to only cook food in those!), baby shoes, I finally let myself get rid of my kids artwork from grade school ( all teh paper was getting soggy in the box)
I used to get so. Upset that y dad would throw out our lives when he would go on one of his cleaning rampages through the house where he threw everything away. He set fire to our family photos.
I think you can feed the need for sentimental items. Or you can do away with them and it’s fine. Occasionally im sad about things, like the pictures. But its just stuff.
