Where does your childhood go when you no longer have a room to house it?

To say goodbye to the childhood room .... Most people have to do this sooner, or later ....

Where does your childhood go when you no longer have a room to house it? What do you do with the artifacts of this other place? It has grown with each year, each piece of christmas ribbon saved and the ongoing collecting of stamps and books. There is the physical problem of incorporating the old hoard with the new, but what else ... a loss of childhood self.

If I didn't have to go back and clean it out I could pretend it was always there. I do need to learn to let go.
