I used to collect many things, also on my pc in digital forms. then oneday my hard-drive just straigh-up died, no backups ofcourse the smart teenager i was. I was super sad, for like 1 hour, and re-installed and started 'clean'. That really felt like a big relief, and i got rid of all of my collections of useless stuff. loads of old pcs, laptops, tapes, cds, whatever. Ended up at somepoint only having a desktop, some speakers and a bed. now i have a little more again, but no collections, i just throw everything that's not usable to me anymore, or give it away if it might be usable to someone. feels great not having so much clutter and stuff around me anymore. real easy to clean the house too now :D
