Lucky there's a family guy
Lucky there's a man who positively can do
All the things that make us
Laugh and cry

the various documents and photos from earlier in life being lost would hurt. it might just be pure nostalgia or self-indulgence, but i like to think there's some value in being able to look back and have some firm remembrance of who i was as a person in years past, and compare and contrast that with where i am today.

i have all my old college and grad student work. the only thing they're even good for is looking back and going "man i was a lot smarter back then, how the gently caress did i even come up with that or do that homework"

maybe someday i'll clear out 95% of my old college poo poo but i will never let go of the last paper I did for my history degree. i spent so many goddamn hours in the evenings looking through old microfilm archives to gather the sources for that drat thing.

it holds sentimental value, and keeping thigns backed up is trivial so i probably won't ever delete it (plus its not a large amount of data being pdfs, word, excel files and other odds and end stuff).

it's kind of amusing reading my freshmen college papers for english or w/e gently caress off class and going wow that's embarrasingly freshmen quality garbage. then reading my more senior stuff and going wow i was so much smart then, wtf am i doing with my brain
