"When students move out of their halls of residence, they leave a lot behind "to give away". I'm familiar with this situation because I've moved several times myself, including internationally. I always prepare myself mentally for a possible onward journey. I often ask myself what I could keep and what I would have to leave behind if I left. It's not about a minimalist lifestyle, but about the worry of missing necessary and familiar things in a foreign place, as well as the space and time this would take up. After several moves, I was happy to get rid of a lot of stuff, but the fear of unfamiliar necessities continues to fuel my need for possessions. And the ironic situation of having to get rid of some of it repeats itself."
