However, I have chucked things out over various times of my life, and I now wish some of it I had saved. I think that it is a hard decision to make, but only you can make that decision. I know that I am not helping you decide. That is only for you to choose. It is true that things only seem to have value to you.

Round and round and round but of course something can be of value to only 1 person because each of us is a unique individual. We may share things with others, lives, experiences, loves etc, but in the end we are each a unique individual, alone in ourselves. So, why keep stuff or would it be better to chuck it? If you have physical and emotional space, or either, and want to keep them, keep them. It is ok to keep things, it is ok to get rid of things, there is no 1 right universal answer all the time for all people. Eventually we all will die and our stuff will go away and/or become valueless and go away. For me this becomes the issue, I will die, my stuff will become valueless, why do I think any of it has meaning since I am a unique individual alone in myself? Because it does. Do what makes you feel good. It is ok to keep stuff if it feels good. It is ok to get rid of it if it becomes an albatross around your neck. Only you can tell or know what is right for you right now this time, and tomorrow may be different. Sometimes I wish I were a fundamentalist with strong beliefs in certain things, would make life easier. I'm glad I'm not, but still.
