mess
Imagine, you moved away from a place where you left everything over. Now, you moved back with all the stuffs that you bought in the past 2 years. It’s like combining 2 homes into 1. What I need to do is, unpack one carton box, take out all the things, and put all the old rubbish back to the same box in order to spare up the space. Repeat the above step until all boxes are filled up again.
People said, if you haven’t touched something for 2 years, that means you don’t need that anymore. (that doesn’t apply to your wife, I guess) I tend to agree. I used to keep a lot of stuff in order to keep the old memories. Especially books and travel diaries and something I thought memoriable. Now I have thrown them all away.
Memories do not worth much to me at this moment.
And when we get old, we won’t need to keep so many stuffs too. Everything is now digital. Something I have written is in the computer. All the photoes. Even all songs are in itune. I don’t even need to keep those old CDs. I can find the information from internet, so I don’t need to keep all those books. If it vanishes, let it be.
Hey, what is left? Clothes, and shoes, and all sorts of unidentified cables…

I can FULLY understand your existing messy feeling … :p
I tried to “squeeze” every space to host my things moved from the bigger house … really “Big house moved to Small house; Gone a bucket of rice” … Coz I need to throw away lots of things … headache in tidying up all the things… :s
However, during scanning the old cards received during secondary school, those happy days appeared again… sometimes, “hard copies” are still worth to be kept — when you hold it, touch it, the feeling is different from “e-paper, e-card, e-xxx…”

Moving is so headache. My only solution is throwing away all the stuffs then no need to pack it n unpack. U r right when some shoes n clothes that u don’t use it for more than 2 yrs better throw away. For me, even I threw away all the ex’s gifts, letter n photo. haha
