Why Keep It?

I've been going through all of my stuff I have for a yard sale we're having this weekend. As I'm going through the mounds of stuff, I just keep thinking why in the world haven't I gotten rid of this stuff before? I don't understand why I hold on to this stuff that I haven't used or even thought about using in years.

I didn't always use to be this way, in fact, it's just been recently that I've been able to give up the stuff I never use and won't ever use again. I use to think, well I can't get rid of it I might need it sometime for something. If you haven't used it in the last 6 months to year then you're not going to use it. Pointless to keep things when you'll never use them. I've lost a lot of weight and there's absolutely no reason for me to keep the clothes that are too big for me now, I never plan on getting that big ever again so why keep it. I can understand keeping a few things that have sentimental value that you never use but when you get a room full of stuff then that's just going overboard.

I have a stack full of PC, Playstation and DS games that I haven't played in years yet I still had them. Why? It's not like I'm going to go back and play those old games, I go out and buy new ones to play and barely even have time to play those. I have no idea if it's just because I'm getting older and becoming a lot more responsible or what has caused me to change the way I think about keeping stuff but I'm glad I've changed. Why keep the stuff when I could sell it and get some money for it? That's a whole lot better than having it sit in my room and it getting no use out of it.
