neglected or just a forgott0n?

Remember back in the day when you were once young and had a list ready to go when mommy and daddy asked what you wanted?  You wanted it right then and there, and if you didn't get it, usually a hissy-fit would come, causing a big scene (which, undoubtably got you the item of desire).

Then after receiving what you wanted, you'll play with it for a while because not too long after you received that, a new item is up for grabs.

Now from all these items accumulated, what have you done with them? Sure, they've been played with, some even worn out, but how necessary were each of the items actually?

At the moment, of course they were extremely necessary.

duh, why else would you have bought it?

correction: your parents.

Reading this, some questions may arise, such as: What's the purpose of this?  What brings about this topic? And maybe even Why am I reading this? (for further questions, if not answered, please ask).

Current status: on spring break.

Point of spring break: to go out and have fun.

PROBLEM: everyone is already back in school.

(my) SOLUTION: clean house/room! (since I can't be in multiple places at once).

So as I'm cleaning out my closet, I've realized that there is a lot of stuff that from my childhood packed away in these boxes.

I mean, what else was I supposed to do with them?

maybe throw things away, like normal people do?

but those things [did] cost money!

As I was saying...I found my childhood packed away in boxes.  Now as I sit/stand in my room looking at everything, I'm wondering what to do with half the stuff. I suppose I could save it for the future, but that defeats the purpose of "spring cleaning". It would be more like, "spring reflection."

A good amount of these things that are still  in perfectly decent/fine condition.  But now looking at everything (I'm now in the box of clothes), I realize how much money I spent as child.  Some of this stuff  isn't even used! Great. Just wonderful. Not even used material that I have no use for now. And there are some things that sit in here in front of me that are currently new, and probably never going to be worn.

From all this stuff, I realize that now, when I'm out, I'm going to ask myself if I REALLYYYYY need it or not; will I REALLLLY use/wear whatever it is I'm going to buy?

I've developed a finer appreciation for the things I have.  It's just a matter of what I'm going to do with everything.
