The excessive...

Would you go to a baggage claim lost and found office to pick up your luggage from 4-3-2-1 years ago. The pros, things that meant so much to you back then, remembering who you were back when you couldn't be without the things to the point that you packed them. Pictures, clothing, music, keepsakes, etc. The cons, the things are tattered. Most of these things you do not feel the same way about if you feel anything at all for them. So do you keep them? Stack them in a box in the attic or on a shelf collecting dust? Pull them out to take the occasional walk down memory lane? The choice is yours. Do you have the room?
The past is completely in tact in your mind. Unless you end up with memory loss. if one were to base their memories solely on materialist keepsakes how would they fill in the gaps?

I light my past on fire and wish it well on its way, for how can you move forward with so much baggage weighing you down? If one continues to be a pack rat how will there ever be room for the newcomings? Oh and sure you can get a bigger place obtain some kind of storage unit with knick knacks and paddy whacks and dust collected 8 tracks, but you'll only get cash for the 8 tracks and eventually all the physical past that you hold so dear will turn to dust. And if you try to prevent that the newcomings will turn to dust because you spent so much time trying to tend to the past. Everything will turn to dust and so will I and as will YOU
