I guess these would be what one keeps after culling the unnecessary...<br /><br />But in the end, are there so many of these? Like you say, most books can be purchased again, it probably goes for most other possessions too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258704812525496584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278952973244360576.post-13924451886374149272013-02-03T19:10:53.453+01:002013-02-03T19:10:53.453+01:00I would just be sad by all that I can't replac...I would just be sad by all that I can't replace - old photographs, books that were gifts, clothing with sentimental value or just clothing I really love that I know can't be replicated. <br /><br />I think I would have to replace my bed immediately because sleeping well is terribly important to me, and I think I would need new jeans immediately because I don't know how to get dressed without them. In fact, I would want most of my clothes back because it took time to collect the pieces I consider staples! I was going to say books, and then realised that most books can be replaced because the titles I have are mostly still being published. linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00638024559737049131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278952973244360576.post-26363211283574556532013-01-29T12:28:59.464+01:002013-01-29T12:28:59.464+01:00It is frightening!

When I moved to Paris I only took a suitcase of stuff from our appartment in Lyon, and honestly, apart from my boyfriend, I don't miss anything I have left there. It is question inducing.<br /><br />Also, I think it's a bit of a fantasy to be able to restart fresh. Purge clean of all purchase mistakes or awkward gifts you never could do anything about, and just go buy what you really like...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258704812525496584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278952973244360576.post-33023417048971866312013-01-28T17:33:13.662+01:002013-01-28T17:33:13.662+01:00If my house burned down I would replace my Macbook...If my house burned down I would replace my Macbook, our couch (seriously, I love our couch) and comfy chair, and my basic cosmetics/skin care/beauty products. I'd also replace the TV, because we love to watch movies, and the dog stuff seeing as we only bought her things that she actually needs anyway. That includes the little squeaky frog, who is the love of her life. <br /><br />When rebuilding my wardrobe I would focus more on quality than I have done up until now. I would forget about some shoes and accessories (and that is AFTER I have culled most of them), I wouldn't re-buy any of my books other than in digital format, and I would re-buy only a handful of movies. Oh, and I would replace both of my cameras. <br /><br />This is a fun exercise, because there really is a lot of stuff I wouldn't bother to replace. It is almost a little bit frightening!

I totally understand the problem, having lived with my partner for almost two years before I moved to Paris for work. <br />In the end I think any tiny effort is better than nothing at all, so if you keep your wardrobe clear that's a great thing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258704812525496584noreply@blogger.com
