What is one item you own that you really should throw away.....but probably never will?

An old broken pen. It was the first prize I ever won for doing good at school. I got it when I was seven and it’s still there… in my stationary bucket on my desk :)

My ex-boyfriend’s Guns N Roses t-shirt. I don’t throw it away because I love to sleep in it!

A picture I have of a certain someone…

A piece off of a Magnolia tree (bark) that I pick up off of the ground in Charleston.

My collection of vhs and audio cassette tapes.

My fat pants – size 24. They are a reminder of so many things. I need to pull them out for a hard ass reminder sometimes.

A vest my grandmother sewed from a kitchen towel with a rooster on it. the hem has green yarn fringe and there is green & yellow brick-a-brack down the front edging and around the patch pockets, each having a smaller rooster patch. I’ve sworn to gift this to a friend of mine to wear onstage when her band plays. Gifts like these, they’ve got legs!

A stone I picked up with an ex-gf from a beach.

I tend to be a bit of a hoarder (nothing even close to those people on that TV show, thank goodness) and I have a lot of things that I keep for sentimental reasons like ticket stubs and small stones or pinecones that I’ve collected on trips. And I collect a lot of stuff (like vintage fabric and purses and eye glass holders and old glass Xmas decorations). So there’s a lot of stuff that other people would like me to part with, but I never will.

I have a laundry basket full of huge pine cones from a camping trip years ago. I always thought/think that I’ll make a wreath.

A year’s worth of emails and chat logs that I need to stop revisiting.

Mt first cell phone..now its not in a condition to use. Also I have changed many cell phones after it but I don’t want to throw it away as my father presented it to me when I was around fifteen.

My ex boyfriend bought me a meditating gold frog for Christmas. At the time, I was so happy about it – mostly because it was the only gift I received from anyone.

Now that we’ve broken up, I look at it and go, “really? a meditating frog?” but I doubt I will throw it away. :D
