What are your feelings on amassing a lot of useless possessions through life?

As a youngster, I collected books and related items on a certain subject, which have never even been unpacked since I moved into my current home touching five years ago. Have you ever disowned very personal items ,and did you do it easily ?

Ive got a collectors spirit myself and the things I've collected are no longer organized. Sometimes I just want to drop a lit match and walk away.

But the rest of the time, my stuff keeps me occupied, be it good, bad or indifferent.

Most of my stuff is useful and desirable, at least by the people i know. I like mechanical stuff, so i have a lot of tools, motorized vehicles, materials to use for modifications.

I think about selling a lot of the things i know I'll never use again, or donating them to the right cause but every time I've done that in the past, I've regretted it right away when a new need for it arises. It happens every time. It's so likely to happen that it keeps me from ridding myself of things.
