I wish I were like this myself.

A couple summers ago I list almost everything I owned, due to being unable to pay the bill on a storage unit.

It’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I’ve never felt more free and whole.

I had a friend who lost the family house (100+ year old farmhouse) with 4 generations worth of heirlooms and antiques and so on in a bushfire a few years ago. He will never ever admit it to his family but he swears its the best thing that ever could have happened.

He never could have sold great grandads dining room table he built with his own 2 hands it was the size of a fucking snooker table and weighed about the same and took up the biggest room in the house... now its just gone
