Sometimes We Have To Compromise, Sometimes We Don't

A friend once told me that we can't save everything we have, we have to give some up in order to make room for new, important ones. Just recently, we bought a new couch for the living room. The couch we've had for about 16 years had been banged up already and everytime there are guests coming it's embarrassing to invite them to sit on it. It had been our couch since we were still living in my hometown and I've gotta admit, certain stuff that I had been using for years gives me this attachment to it, and this couch is a good example. I used to curl up on it while playing video games or watching tv. I also used to take a nap there on a boring Sunday afternoon. I even used to jump on it just for fun. Now the couch will be replaced my a new one. At first, my brother was planning to tear it to pieces then throw it out. Then I thought, Hey, why not just place it outside as a passersby bench? It'd be cool to have a bench outside especially if you're gonna smoke or something, you can't smoke inside. Then we agreed upon it. I just couldn't let go of the couch not because we can still use it but because of the memories it brings back. How about you? Have you had anything you feel you had to give up but you didn't because of it's sentimental value?
