How do minimalists handle sentimental items without cluttering memory?

[AnthonyNB]

I've been trying to adopt a more minimalist lifestyle over the past year, starting with decluttering my apartment and being more intentional about my purchases. While I've made progress, I'm struggling with the emotional attachment to sentimental items like old letters, childhood memorabilia, and gifts from family. How do others practicing minimalism navigate these sentimental categories? Do you set limits, digitize things, or keep a single curated memory box, and how do you balance the philosophy of owning less with the genuine value these items hold?
