Do you keep the ones that are linked to sad times or maybe better times?
I have tossed out lots of photos from the past or physical reminders of sad times.
I don't know what to do with a bunch of stuff I have right now.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    I think these particular photos and memories should be saved, but put not in my house. I think maybe bringing them to my parent's house is a good idea.
    Thanks cutback.

    i'm the same way. i'm horribly sentimental :o

    keeping them somewhere else is a great idea, if you don't want to keep them in your home, that way you have the best of both worlds :)

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Most of them, but I'll get rid of any of an ex-gf if I don't particularly like them anymore (which is usually the case). Those are about the only ones I'll trash.
  • ToadJodeToadJode Posts: 49
    I throw out most things that aren't relevant to me anymore. Old birthday cards, pics w/ ex-boyfriends, etc....

    I don't see any reason to hang onto them.

    I saw a photo yesterday that made me unbearably sad but I'd never want to throw it away, it's just something that I need to be around, even if it hurts to see it. Some things are important enough that you need a reminder of them, even if they don't represent something happy in your life.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Funny, I am the exact opposite. I no longer have a single photo of my ex wife or us together. 7 years of my life, poof, gone. I don't even remember throwing them out but I'm the anti-packrat of all time. Wonder if she keeps momentos of our relationship.

    Here a song I wrote just for her:

    Stumble My Way

    I gave up on forever
    and ever and ever
    before it even began
    something like love
    turned into hate
    the second that ring
    touched your hand
    I let go of the rope
    fell into the dark
    and out of the light
    made my stand

    You thought I had slipped
    just out of your sight
    but god I was so far away
    I don't want to come back
    I don't want to be found
    I know
    I can never be saved

    I crawled to the shore
    of a high mountain lake
    where even my own face
    seemed fake
    I built a home
    and I lived alone
    as I stumbled my way
    into grace
    I forgot about us
    let myself be
    and I can't even picture
    your face

    You thought I had slipped
    just out of your sight
    but god I was so far away
    I don't want to come back
    I don't want to be found
    I know
    I can never be saved

    one foot in front
    of the other
    as I stumble my way
    into grace
    one foot in front
    of the other
    as I stumble my way
    into grace

    Photographs and memories
    Christmas cards you sent to me
    All that I have are these
    To remember you

    Memories that come at night
    Take me to another time
    Back to a happier day
    When I called you mine

    But we sure had a good time
    When we started way back when
    Morning walks and bedroom talks
    Oh how I loved you then

    Summer skies and lullabies
    Nights we couldn't say good-bye
    And of all of the things the we knew
    Not a dream survived

    Photographs and memories
    All the love you gave to me
    Somehow it just can't be true
    That's all I've left of you

    But we sure had a good time
    When we started way back when
    Morning walks and bedroom talks
    Oh how I loved you then
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
  • TrixieCatTrixieCat Posts: 5,756
    If jamie were here he would be thinking of this:
    Im outa luck, outa love
    Gotta photograph, picture of
    Passion killer, youre too much
    Youre the only one I wanna touch
    I see your face every time I dream
    On every page, every magazine
    So wild and free so far from me
    Youre all I want, my fantasy

    Oh, look what youve done to this rock n roll clown
    Oh oh, look what youve done

    Photograph - I dont want your
    Photograph - I dont need your
    Photograph - all Ive got is a photograph
    But its not enough

    Id be your lover, if you were there
    Put your hurt on me, if you dare
    Such a woman, you got style
    You make every man feel like a child, oh
    You got some kinda hold on me
    Youre all wrapped up in mystery
    So wild so free and far from me
    Youre all I want, my fantasy

    Oh, look what youve done to this rock n roll clown
    Oh oh, look what youve done

    Photograph - I dont want your
    Photograph - I dont need your
    Photograph - all Ive got is a photograph
    Youve gone straight to my head

    Oh, look what youve done to this rock n roll clown
    Oh oh, look what youve done
    I gotta have you

    Photograph - I dont want your
    Photograph - I dont need your
    Photograph - all Ive got is a photograph
    I wanna touch you

    Photograph
    Photograph - your photograph
    Photograph -
    Photograph - I need only your
    Photograph - Im outa love
    Photograph - Im outa love
    Photograph - youre the only one

    Hey, you shush about that. Oh, and something is fucked on our myspace site. It kept playing the wrong song when I just tried. I'll tell the guitar player to go fix it.

    When my parents divorced my dad took most of the pictures as he was the sentimental one. my father remarried and died shortly thereafter. My lovely step mother through out everything. I now have only 2 pictures of my dad. It is awful because my kids will never get to see him in so many points of his life.

    I don't know if you have kids but I am sure there will be people who want to have the memory of you at some points in your life.

    Put them away somewhere but I would not toss them.

    I've been there Trix. What I did was put them all in a big box, marked clearly. Then I taped it up and put it away somewhere where I won't accidentally come across it.

    I thought about it like this, they're not just my memories to throw away. They belong to my children too. It's their family history, and their childrens and so on. When I look at how few pictures I have of my grandparents, I realise I don't want the same for my future family.

    I always think of this song...


    "Photograph"

    Look at this photograph
    Everytime I do it makes me laugh
    How did our eyes get so red
    And what the hell is on Joey's head

    And this is where I grew up
    I think the present owner fixed it up
    I never knew we'd ever went without
    The second floor is hard for sneaking out

    And this is where I went to school
    Most of the time had better things to do
    Criminal record says I broke in twice
    I must have done it half a dozen times

    I wonder if it's too late
    Should i go back and try to graduate
    Life's better now than it was back then
    If I was them I wouldn't let me in

    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, god, I

    Every memory of looking out the back door
    I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Every memory of walking out the front door
    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.

    Remember the old arcade
    Blew every dollar that we ever made
    The cops hated us hangin' out
    They say somebody went and burned it down

    We used to listen to the radio
    And sing along with every song we know
    We said someday we'd find out how it feels
    To sing to more than just the steering wheel

    Kim's the first girl I kissed
    I was so nervous that I nearly missed
    She's had a couple of kids since then
    I haven't seen her since god knows when

    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, god, I

    Every memory of looking out the back door
    I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Every memory of walking out the front door
    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.

    I miss that town
    I miss the faces
    You can't erase
    You can't replace it
    I miss it now
    I can't believe it
    So hard to stay
    Too hard to leave it

    If I could I relive those days
    I know the one thing that would never change

    Every memory of looking out the back door
    I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Every memory of walking out the front door
    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.

    Look at this photograph
    Everytime I do it makes me laugh
    Everytime I do it makes me...

    Reduce
    Reuse
    Recycle
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
