i have no problem with getting rid of absolutely anything, but am stumped when it comes to old journals. i have a whole suitcase of them, and am moving often and it doesn't seem like i will settle down anywhere anytime soon. what i would like to know is if anyone got rid of their journals and never regretted it. i mean it's my essence in there, even photos mean nothing compare to that. and it's not dear diary types stuff either, where you just record mundane daily stuff. it reflects who i was at various stages of life, and these journals have preserved my sanity and have been my only friends in the worst of times.
but then, the suitcase gets heavier and heavier, and dragging it with me every time i move sucks (not to mention thinking if i get in an accident and die and some stranger will be going thru it all). i don't have an option of storing it in a family members' place, btw.
sooo...to shred it or not? sometimes i read some of it and think i used to be smarter than i am now, lol, but to keep it for ego's sake? i looked at some feng shui sites, but didn't see anything about journals.
TIA!
p.s. oh, and i have a huge bag of cd cases and they are just sitting there. i already sold all the cd's i was tired of, and stuff i kept i'll never sell (besides, even if i'll want to they'll be too used up for it). so do i just throw cases into a recycle bin, or what?
