i am almost done with packing.
though i still have about 2 months to go.
yes.that is how OCD i am .
i just like things to be properly planned.
it didn't take long to finish really.
not at all.
and i realised. honestly i have nothing much to bring back home.
3 years of living here.
i only ended up packing 2 medium sized boxes for shipping.
one of it is clothing and the other is a box full of books.
and there i was thinking.
is that it?
is that all i own?
for the past 3 years?
2 brown boxes of stuffs?
apart of me was actually loving the idea of having such little stuff to own.
but apart of me was in great curiosity.
where did all my stuffs go?
its either i have lost them without me realising it.
or all of this while i just thought that i have so many things but actually in reality i ended up having a lot lesser.
oh well.
but.
in a way.
i do find its good to have less things in life.
it makes life easier somehow.
nothing to pull me back if i were to run ahead.
the less you own. the less worry you become.
and the thought of living my stuffs in a metal box for weeks traveling in deep sea thousands of miles away doesn't worry me much .
because apart of me knew that.
if i were to lose it.
i wont be losing much anyway.
oh.
how i am beginning to fancy this kind of lifestyle.
having things just enough.just in moderation .
just.as it is.
the best tarbiyah of being a student is always to be able to settle with the idea of simply.
less is more. in life.
how easy for me to see it now.
the beauty of simplicity actually lies in between the border of having just.enough.
and it doens't take a truck load of materials to make us feel content and provided.
but the important bit is to value those little things we have along side with a truck load of gratitude for being able to even own.just a alittle.
and so.
with two medium boxes.
and oh.
a guitar.
i shall soon end.
my single days of Liverpool.
may Allah fill me a house full of good things in Jannah later.
instead.
ameen.
he-he. :)
