packing

I'm coming back home! So I have years of stuff to pack and ship home. But what to take? This is me trying to decide what to pack...

this what ends up happening all the time I try and solve this problem:

Emptying old drawers that I had forgotten were full, finding lost art supplies and sketch books! Or this happens:

What should go home? clothes that I might fit into later if I can't afford to feed myself when I get back? Bottles of lotion that smell kinda funky now? old shoes? art supplies? hair ties? old makeup? books? birthday cards, pay stubs, tax papers, sheets, towels, pillow cases, costco sized bottles of meds? I don't know.
