Exactly this! for those of us who ascribe meaning to objects. Some call this sentimental and I prefer nostalgic, and that exquisite tug of memory and emotion connected to the heart.
This is what makes it hard to let go. Getting rid of objects feels like tossing away the memories that are attached to them. I try, I keep trying. To purge, let go, clear out the excess. It is a process to allow ourselves to let go.

I love what you say here about "that exquisite tug of memory." So true.
"Our objects act as magic portals to the past."

Absolutely! Thanks, Dawn.
