How do you feel about getting rid of your stuff?

1 Answer

Answer :

I started last week, as I am due to leave in about four weeks for the UK. I decided to get rid of everything. It’s just easier. I thought I’d be devastated. I’m not. They’re just things I feel lighter. Of course there are moments of sadness. But they just feel like burdens and holders of the past. I’m looking forward to a new life now. With new memories and things :).
