Do you have a lot of stuff in your place that you don't need? Why do you have it? If it all has some meaning to you, why do you ascribe meaning to it?

I just got rid of a bunch of useless stuff in my apartment and it feels great. Many of us are used to being in places with a lot of useless trinkets and such, but why do we have these things?

Maybe I don’t understand the mentality, but I never have really ascribed meaning to things like souvenirs and such. I’ve been to 7 different countries and have (well, had) 2 souvenirs that I didn’t even want, but got “just because”, that’s what travelers do. I’m fine with my pictures, but I never even took many of those.

Can you provide me with some insight as to why you have so much stuff or why you put meaning into so many things?
