A few days before we leave home, and all the possessions we gathered in 12 years and more, and things suddenly change proportions. Without doing a thing, before we even started sorting and packing, the way I look at, for example, the huge toy collection, is characterized mainly by calmness. I sit here in front of the toy cabinet, under me a box of costumes, and in my head the questions: \u2018do they really need this? Can they make-do without it? Is there a replacement for all these things?\u2019<\/p>\n

And I surprise myself. I, right now, don\u2019t understand why I was so afraid. They really don\u2019t need all those toys. It\u2019s just that simple. I see things clearer every second, the fears evaporate, and I continue asking myself as I look at item after item, that there\u2019s no real need for it. I thought it would be hard to decide what to take and what to leave behind. But now it turns out I struggle to find a single thing I think worth taking.<\/p>\n

Before I entered the play room I asked my older daughter what does she want to take with her. And she didn\u2019t even understand the question, as far as she was concerned, nothing was needed. She didn\u2019t think we\u2019d take anything with us and so didn\u2019t bother herself with that question. She gave up everything<\/em> long ago. The process, as I imagined it, suddenly reversed itself. Instead of making painful concessions, I sit with her in the room, trying to explain to her why perhaps it will<\/em> be better to take something.<\/p>\n

When it comes to furniture and electronics things are pretty similar, though admittedly, there are some things that are difficult for me to give up. Things that were very expensive, that are now being given to families in need. I mean, I don\u2019t have much money myself, and I admit I would rather sell those items, but what I will get for them is so miniscule, that I rather just give them to those that need the, rather than make another 500$.
\nThe most valuable things we kept. Emotional value, that is.<\/p>\n
