stuff that's left behind

While perusing your CD collection, you spot it: a lonely disc simply labeled "Our Mix." It takes a few seconds to remember where you got it.

Oh yeah, it was from him.

Seriously, why do you still have this?

Well, because that's what people do. It's the underlying message of StuffThatsLeftBehind.com, a Web site where people tell the stories surrounding the stuff they've kept from failed relationships.

My favorite part is the inclusion of Urban Dictionary term "screwvenir." Like a souvenir, only it's obtained by hooking up.

I try to keep my leftover relationship tokens to a minimum, but I've heard of people who keep boxes upon boxes of relationship "stuff."

Are you one of them? If so, how do you explain the collection to your current partner?
