So recently I had a move, from my old apartment to my new one and believe me. It was TEDIOUS work. It took me about 9 trips to move all of my things to my new place.
Bearing in mind that I'm a university student barely 18 years and I had so many possessions and yet my life was empty, dull and generally uneventful. Over the years I had struggled with depression and social anxiety and as a result my favourite thing to cope was going shopping...alone. I enjoyed it. I had always managed to convince myself that I deserved everything I got and looked forward to every weekend to "stimulate the economy" as I had put it.
Unfortunately the more things I bought, the less happy I became because you see here is how the cycle goes; I buy things I usually left them on my bed to try on...as my place was tiny when I needed to sleep I'd push them to the floor, and the heap grew and I often forgot stuff that I owned so I just bought more. My place was extremely untidy and I became more unhappy with the state of my "life", and I'll decide to go out to get away from my unhappy place and as a result buy more things...do you see the problem now.
Anyways, I have discovered Minimalism and I have embraced it. Well I'm still bracing it. I have been reading more and letting go of things that are not adding value to my life or bringing in postive energy .
If you would like to know more about minimalism you can check out www.theminimalists.com . I found it immensely helpful.
