I agree with Jeffrey. I used to throw all kinds of stuff out and now wished I'd kept it. What little I did keep mostly sits in boxes but it's pretty nice to have the ability to look through it every once in a while. Things that didn't seem important or valuable at the time have a way of taking on a different significance later on.
