Alright, so in anticipation of moving to Chaz in a few months time, I'm pretty much disposing of 80%+ of all my belongings, including paper records of bygone achievements.
Some of it is sad and scary, simply because I'm attached to things like only essays and jewelry, and I'm worried that disposing of some records might not be a good idea (though it's nothing important, like old CPR certs that don't mean anything now that their out of date), but overall it feels really good to have less and less belongings. Not having a ton of crap that I don't even look at most of the time makes my life feel so much less stressful and busy.
So forums, how many of you have had to do the "Great Purge" in anticipation of moving far-far away and being unable to bring everything with you? How did you feel getting rid of stuff? Did you have a lot of possessions and just ended up hauling most of it anyways, or did you go through everything and feel the pain of tossing old records/pictures/toys? Did anyone have to move overseas and end up having to widdle it down to a few suitcases?
Any of you feel like a weight or burden was being taken off your shoulders after getting rid of your excess crap?
