30 things i have learnt in 30 years

Travel light

When I was younger I travelled to London on a scholarship. I had lived with my parents until then, amassing tons of stuff since I was a little girl. But, of course, I wasn’t going to carry my belongings with me all the way to London so I only packed my clothes and some books.

It wasn’t until I had to return that I realized how little I had missed my things and that I didn’t really need them. In that moment I felt completely free, I felt I could go anywhere because I didn’t need anything apart from myself.
