$$SENTIMENTAL VALUE$$

RE: $$SENTIMENTAL VALUE$$

mara · Senior Member

I don't think I'm too attached to any material things. It's hard for me to let go on other things such as memories or feelings. But anything that can be sold i have no problem giving up if I must do it.

Shy_Latina · Guru

I would sell anything....(material stuff)

Material stuff can always be replaced, that just comes and goes. The only thing that stays with you is the memories, that you can cherish your whole life...

Well I guess you've just put a value on your most prized possession then

Either the cost of the phone or your pride, it'll depend on how much you really like that necklace to see if you're willling to give up any of those 2

I have a chain that my mom got me when I was a baby and I always wear since I was like 5... if someone offered an insane amount of money for it.. I wouldnt have time to sell it cause my mom would take it off of me herself! things are just things.. memories last forever.. (unless ur Daeveed, in which case.. memories last till he sees a squirrel)

Wa? no "LOL"? lol!

No, it's not la caja I'm talking about! lol! and what I'm selling can't be bought back, ever! and in this case is to "cherish the thought" what's going to be the heartbreaker

But it's alright, I'm slowly getting used to the idea and it's making it less painful, and it's not 100% sure yet

When I left my parents house...my dad came to me and gave me a Alarm Clock and he told me

"Con eso que eres un guevon para levantarte, lo vas a necesitar"

After 16 years it is beside my bed.

Lahtina · Foro Master

Alright, people, stop putting those kinds of examples. It's obvious that no one but you would want them. I think that what Dogo is talking about is something someone else might actually want. Say your car, your house, your business, your wife/husband/gf/bf (ok, not). I don't know, something that someone else might actually want.

Julie · Comandante

I would not give away my pictures.

Some are the only memories (that have not vanished) I have of some people.

TV Buff · TOP Guru

There are a few things I would not part with for their immense sentimental value. I know that NO ONE in their right mind would pay an insane amount of cash for them because they're only valuable to me. To everyone else they'd be junk.

Lahtina · Foro Master

I can't think of anything material that I wouldn't sell. I would sell my wedding ring and my engagement ring, probably even for less than what they're worth if it ever came to that. It's not that I don't like them but they are just a symbol. Now, it's the promise I made Mark that I would not trade for any amount.

I find it easy to get rid of material possessions. I'm taking none of that with me the day I die so why distress myself over it? My actions and my memories, however, if you believe that this isn't it, is a different matter.
