One day mid last year I decided to delete all my 10000 photos spanning a decade. The reason built up gradually and it was the emotions these photos evoked that did nothing but get in my way of enjoying/experiencing the now. Whatever's significant enough to be important, I remember. I feel a lot more free and happier by not hanging on details of the past. In contrast, I think writings, like diary and poetry are much more useful to keep, because they can be interpreted differently over time which means they can be related to at the time of reading, years later.
