I'm in the process of cleaning the apartment and I've come to a couple of conclusions about purging things from one's life.

There are a number of things I cannot throw away. I just feel down right uncomfortable with irreversible anxiety if I do throw them away.

I cannot throw away keys. Keys to old houses, lockers, etc. I for some reasons feel that I will somewhere some how need them again even if I will no longer or ever encounter that lock or door.

I cannot throw away remote controls. For the same reasons, so long as I have the item that is to be controlled, I figured I'd keep them, but once I've disposed of the unit and the remote becomes separated somehow. I still hold onto the remote. I think it is an extension of the key thing.

I cannot throw away plugs. I'm not talking about the normal

3 prong universal power cord

or

2 prong figure 8 power cord

but the small little cords that have the black block and odd AC adapter. I have tons of them but cannot locate what they actually plug into. I cannot seem to throw them away either, I also believe it is something related to the key situation.

Anyone have difficulty throwing things away?
