Clearing out objects that I owned proved to be more straightfoward than I thought. Moving home provided the perfect opportunity to dispose of items that have accumulated for the past couple of years. Perhaps it's because life hasn't turned out a conventional way for me that I now find it almost effortless to move on. I threw out and/or recycled close to half of my belongings in this part of the world- books, magazines, DVDs, clothing, shoes and sheets upon sheets of paper. Even gifts/letters that I previously thought had sentimental value didn't stand a chance. I retained what I thought will probably be of use when needed.
It is obviously revitalising to experience a change in environment but even more so when done with the love and support of ones' family, and for that I am eternally grateful. In the spirit of the month of Syawal, my recent birth date, adoring old friends, meeting new people and having a caring family, here's to a year focused on academia, job hunting and being happy.
