I've started doing this in my life: I take pictures of items that have emotional meaning to me, and then throw away the item.
I care about the meaning to me, what memories it gives me, not the physical item.
It's really really hard though. But my kids will just have a Google Photos album to keep rather than a house full of stuff.

- thakoppno 4y agohow do you archive your journals?
- sixstringtheory 4y agoNothing beyond just keeping them around, currently. Maybe one day I’ll try to digitize/ocr them.

Seriously, relying on something like google as the repository of all memories seems extremely risky when we know how often they lock accounts for no reason and there is no recourse.
