I've begun divesting myself of so-called family heirlooms, memento mori, cute trinkets that I've collected over the years and bestowed with "emotional value". I've realised that, like you, my child will probably just see it all as junk and resent how much it costs to dump.

So well said regarding things’ value. Most of those things I’ve collected, I love because they are part of an experience or gift.
I don’t expect others to hold that meaning. On the other hand, if it makes me happy now, it stays. 😌
Been thinking similar recently, and writing a similar piece, having reached a "milestone" age. In denial though...!
Stay there as long as you can! And I look forward to reading it. 😌
Depressing and I got 12 years on you! 🤣
It’s fun to watch you stumble into it. 🤣
