There is a lot of stuff hidden in the closet, drawers, and cabinets that are of no use but we just clutter it and keep it in the house because it has some emotions. Having a few things, labeled as emotionally attached is a different thing but when you keep on piling things up in the name of sentiments and then even forget about them, not use them ever and they just take up additional space in the house.
