There is still a bit less than half a year left until I make my move.. But since yesterday I bought a very large suitcase, I started packing the clothes that I'd never wear here. Like jackets which I bought this year because I wanted to be prepared for landing at anytime, given that there was a lot of uncertainty about my life and my mother's sickness back then.
Then I will start sorting out everything I own, and I already have started.. To know what I need to sell/give away and what is going to stay with me, but packed later...
While in the process, I came across this
My mother made these probably before I was even born, and she probably had no idea that they are still there.. I took three of them when I was moving out of the main house... I don't know what I would do with them, but I thought I might regret not having anything from my mother. I only have a mug that she bought me, and it could break easily, but these would last.. Maybe I could frame one and put it in my apartment.
I also took many photo albums, but I will get busy in the coming days making soft copies of the photos I want because I see no need to carry them with me all the way across the earth.. I might take only a few photos, the ones that I am in perhaps...
I am glad I am starting this process of packing and sorting very early on.. It is because I know myself.. Like when I am just normally cleaning the room, I'd spend a lot of time because I tend to get nostalgic over everything I see.. So how about when I am moving and leaving a whole life behind... Of course it is going to be much worse...
Everyday I will do just a little more.. Although I don't own THAT MANY THINGS, this process is a bit uneasy..
