My answer - prepared. I don't value sentimental stuff very much.

It makes me hungry

Moving all those boxes and whatnot can wear you out

Perhaps the word I'm looking for is "thirsty"

confused?

its intent is to be prepared, but unfortunately too many times it turns into sentimental.

I'm one of the most unsentimental people I know. The only thing I store that would even be close to "sentimental" are photographs. Fortunately they don't take up much room. If they did, I'd edit them down to a shoebox. Everything else I have in storage is for creating.
