reading this is kind of funny as I have a bed, sheets, 4 outfits, a towel, toothpaste, toothbrush, detergent, and deodorant all in my apartment (just moved out of parents home).
I experienced something similar a while ago as I was moving from Sweden to Japan. I could only ship a few things. Once moved, while waiting for those few shipped things to arrive, and living on yet fewer things in the meantime, I realized how few things we really need and how many things just tie us down and consume space. It's liberating to have just a few things.
