Photographs. Real and digital. I just recently went through my external HDDs and a dusty old TuffBox from 2006 and found like a squillion photographs I didn't think I still had. Army buddies, exgirlfriends, my truck, childhood antics, old apartments, etc. Some of people and places I don't remember. It's tough to toss 'em. Those faces are so far in the rear view yet the lessons learned from interacting with them remain important. I think I hold onto photographs because they help me remember. Without them, I worry that I'm going to wake up some day and have no past between my ears.
That idea really scares me.
...
In the end I'll just round file 'em like everything else. For 2010... my new philosophy has been "whatever you can carry."
