I'm full

I'm full and it isn't because I ate to much on Thanksgiving. No...it seems everything that I have is full.
My computer is full, my cell phone is full, my Ipad is full, my external hard drive is full and worst of all my cloud is full.  My garage is full as well as most of my closets, drawers, desk tops, cabinets and junk drawers.
Now I'm not a hoarder but I do keep a lot of things that I might never use again. Like I have written here before I have enough tee shirts so that I will never need to by another one for the rest of my life. I also have things like a every record that I ever bought, memorabilia like a ticket stub from a Fenway Park ball game that my father took me to when I was 8 years old. Some of these things I will never get rid of .....but some of it has to go. I found some newspapers from my team, the NY Giants, documenting their year as they made the run to their first Super Bowl. They can go...after one afternoon of rereading them....lol...along with manuals, receipts and other paper work of things that long ago were used and thrown out.
I watch episodes of "Tiny Houses" on tv and think ..."I don't need all this space any more...I could live in a smaller place someday"....but where would I put all of my stuff?
You know what most of it is for me?....memories...of things I did...people I have known and places I have been...it is all in the past....time to move on....well maybe after one last look at everything one more time.
Now that I listen that blues record still sounds good even if it is mono and my number 56 LT jersey still fits and the VHS version of the Three Stooges on New Years eve 1986 recorded from WSBK Ch 38 UHF......ahhh...maybe some things can stay... just a little longer.
I gotta go make more room.
