Boxes of memories

Today I took it upon myself to clean my room and sort of rearrange some books on my shelf. Beneath my reading table, I have at least three shoe boxes worth of mails. It contains every mail I've ever received or maybe the ones I deemed worthy of saving. I guess you can call it my mails memorabilia :)
I never realized how much memory of mine this three boxes holds: I had everything from high school, travels, college and miscellaneous things in it. There were greeting cards people gave to me and reading it again sort of brought tears to my eyes. I had letters from a poetry company congratulating me for being the winner of their poetry contest. I found my high school graduation invitation/ thank you cards...which by the way, I never mailed out...and I wonder why a lot of people never showed up at my graduation :)
Anyway, I've held on to so many things but it's time to let some of those things go. I would really hate to fall a victim of hoarding.
