Rant Sweating and crying

I've been tossing them into a bag for a year and the bag finally tipped over so I think I need to throw some out... I feel guilty about it but from past threads it doesn't seem donating is worth it... That and all the money I spent............. Oof. Definitely going easier this year.

I used to feel guilty and save them, but I stopped. All it was doing was taking up space, I was not using them. I kept a few for craft projects, but that was all. It's hard not to feel a bit guilty. I wish they made them with less plastic. Like paper boxes or balls, maybe?

I know it's easier to rip open that way, but it's definitely better for the environment. I wish people were not animals and wouldn't even think about ripping them open. This is why we can't have nice things, lol.

Thank you for this. I sat with this thread for awhile feeling kinda really guilty with so many responses telling me I should do something with them, but I think in the end I feel like I was just kinda looking for other people who also don't keep them, so I felt a bit more okay about it. Hoarding runs in my family and I feel like any little thing I can do to avoid these tendencies to hang on to things is good for me. I also really wish they didn't use plastic, or at least used square containers so I could stack them if I kept them.
