What to do about my possessions?

[Yume Nikki]

Like the stuff in my room I use to collect such as merch, dolls, albums, games, makeup etc. What do I do with it? should I give it away to someone, sell it on depop, or some other outlet? If I successfully ctb I'm not really sure what to do with all this stuff as it has no purpose once I'm gone.

how do you feel about them? for example: i am very attached to my possessions. i dont want to sell them, but it doesn't matter what happens to them if i die. right? so i could sell it, if i were to definitively die? yes... but... in my case, it's a weird situation, i want to end on a happy note. i don't want to sell a part of my soul. i know it's weird but when i ctb i will probably be happy, i will cry tears if joy. how are you, what are your feelings to these objects? ^^

Maybe there's something in your neighborhood for people with less money? Like a thrift shop of some organisation?

Or maybe you know some families with girls? You could maybe pack some small boxes and leave them at the door as a present ? ( Anonymous ofcourse)

i would say if there's a few things you want to dedicate to people then that would work. i collect a lot as well so it's almost impossible for me to give away everything. maybe some small or sentimental things you want be assured is getting taken care of. if you don't have anyone in mind, donating or selling them before can also work

In my case, I have a large collection of video games. A lot of Special Edition boxsets with the more valuable ones being still sealed.

I was thinking of selling them, but instead decided to give them to someone else who lives in my state a few hours away. I know they will appreciate and care for such a collection so I feel better knowing it will go to a good home.

I love them passionately, They're like Christmas ornaments on a tree, the very core things that defy me like my Draculaura dolls are inspiration for my vampire ocs I created and the Moomin stuff is part of how much I love these characters and the world that they're living in. :> I sold some stuff away regretfully and grieve the things that are gone ;_; but I still have other stuff that's laying around, like the yume nikki charms in my drawer, Madotsuki is one of my favorite characters and she reminds me so much of myself, I don't know if I have it in me to give it away. The thing is, I'm scared of the impact these items will have on my family, will it hurt them to be reminded of myself if they see them? or could selling them help them financially? it's hard to know for sure. But every case is different, I can see why you wouldn't want to part with your items because they are what gave you happiness and that's what truly matters. ^^ are there other items in particular that stood out to you in particular?

Hmm that's not a bad idea, I was actually considering going to a local hospital and giving away my Draculaura dolls to girls with chronic illnesses and aren't able to afford gifts for Christmas. Or giving them to my niece in Poland, but I'm not sure yet since she might be too young to play with dolls yet and there's no hospitals close to me.

i think if your worry is about relatives - after passing, they can sell or give away all this. i am not allowed to speak on behalf of you, but my mind works like this - i think i will not sell it. i will let it be, i am attached to these objects, and i don't want to disappoint them, selling them feels like selling my soul. i don't want to go out without a soul (and it sounds weird... i'm atheist, but this feels right to me).

what do you think ^^?

It's a very hard answer I gonna give you but... it's your stuff, I saw some videos on youtube about alone man/woman wondering the same. Most even contact some related family and it's like, almost nobody is interesting in your stuff, sure, money they want, but "stuffs", probably is going to trash.

If you are really made your decision, you could write a letter like a last wish, that your things go to donation for the poor, expensive stuffs be sold and be given to someone you may have feelings and care.

I decided to not going on selling my things to make the "work" easy for my parent/sister, not because i'm selfish, my mental state is in such a state that nothing has a value anymore to me, if they're going to trash, sell, give away, I really dont care anymore.

Think about your decision, because if you seens to be still showing some signs of life and care. Sorry if my opnion offend you or somebody.

I like that idea, I also have a fair share of old games in my closet that are irreplaceable, but I'm not sure if I can part with some of it due to the value, maybe my brother will make use of them later on. Are there any games in your collection that you remember fondly of? I had alot of good memories playing Super Smash Bros Melee on my gamecube as a child, and the nostalgia I got from the fandom itself will always be a core memory of my younger years. Especially the funny cursed screenshots people use to take of the characters. Will you miss your collection as well?

I agree with your sentiment, it's like losing a part of yourself knowing that we'll probably never see our possessions again, ;_; but eventually all of our stuff won't be here anymore after hundreds of years in the future, right? so might as well cherish the things we have now while it's still here. ^^ Though I won't know what my family will do with it if I do pass away, so it's difficult.

I'm still hugging my duckie plush I ordered today for comfort because I am scared of losing it and thinking about ctb scares me sometimes, even though it's an inanimate object I use to hug my ex whenever I was anxious but now that he's gone, I cling on my new plush for support. Maybe my family will be able to use it for themselves whenever they are struggling too.

I won't be alive shortly after I give it to him, so maybe in that brief period, yes?

I totally understand, realistically majority of it will be thrown away or sold if it's not in use... there's so much that it'll be hard to distribute if my family does want to keep some of the stuff. I even told my mom that she could sell or give some of the things I didn't like anymore away and refused at one point. These objects will carry alot of memories with them so I can see why they wouldn't be open to giving it away immediately but maybe overtime they will change their mind. Nothing lasts forever so I won't judge them for whatever decision they make.
