I basically spent my entire weekend sorting out my personal belongings.
It's amazing to see how many things a person can collect in 1000 days.
1000 days is the amount of days I have been in China.
To be exact it's 1013 days, but 1000 just looks better ;-)
1000 days......
And what an experience it has been. So many things I have learned, so many amazing people I have met. And so many things I have collected. That's what I figured out yesterday.
Today the shipping company came to pack and collect all my stuff.
4 guys. In 4 hours they packed my 'entire life' in 56 packs/ boxes.
It was like watching a movie fast forward.
And then they were gone and I was alone.....
Completely alone in an empty apartment. That was weird. And honestly I had to turn a switch not to get emotional. But it was also good. A good moment as a closure of an era.
What I thought of today in terms of age eras:
between
0-10: you are growing up and learning
10-20: you start to explore and form an identity
20-30: you experience the life as expected by society (study, work, relationship etc)
and then......
this is exactly how it feels for me. At this point it feels I have completed a phase and I'm ready for the next. Ready for life...... ready to let go.....
And it feels good. I kind of feel enlightened not having my stuff around me.... detachment.... looking at the world with fresh eyes....
