After a 2 Year Relationship Ends, is it wrong to throw everything away?

1 Answer

Answer :

If you feel the need to, then throw it out. After seeing similar questions like this on ask-public, I feel like the minority who believe throwing things out means you still care. I don’t view keeping things from the past as a bad thing, I view it as keeping a part of your life. Throwing it all out denies that it even happened. Just strange, in my opinion.
