Good afternoon.
I guess many famous authors and writers created their novels because they wanted to share their feelings and emotions with this world. Seems that many people who practice blogging have the same intentions. I suppose that right now I'm doing the same.
It's not a secret that we all start living our real life when we are not as tasty and juicy as a fresh peach because you can realize and find your own way only when you have a great life experience (though it can be negative as well). This life experience is like a traveling luggage and it becomes bigger and bigger with years.
But...
It can become a comfortable suitcase only when you understand which things you need while you're traveling and which things are useless. So you life experience travel bag can become a cozy and comfortable device that has all necessary things.
Several years ago I had the same life suitcase as that guy on photo. It took many days to examine each thing in this suitcase with the help of a torch and to clean up every pocket.
I threw many things:
- useless anxiety and fears about people and life possibilities I face every day
- stress and insomnia
- bad nutrition, junk food and laziness
- my pink glasses that showed an ideal world
- hatred and anger
- passions
- non-productive thoughts about future and my own goals
- my broken schedule of the day
- some of bad words :D
- all memories about men and love
- old clothes and socks
What is left:
- good music and books
- people with the same interests and goals
- traveling card and a map
- life targets
- ability to turn negative thoughts into positive
- healthy foods and a correct time-table of the day
I suppose that my life suitcase looks like this one:
And you know when you have this S-size, life is easier as it may seems. Though I caught myself on the thought that it's really hard to throw away things you have been known for years - your memories, your feelings, your habits....Gosh. It's called by many scientists "Leaving the comfort zone". If you want to develop, you should always live your comfort zones and look for other ones.
If you could clean up your suitcase, what would you leave inside it?
Cheers, Honey Bee

haha, guys ;) I used a suitcase as a metaphor :) I wasn't talking about traveling suitcases :D:D:D
thanks, Mish :P
Hmm, a very understandable metaphor. Life (travelling) stuff (aspects of life).
I have alredy thrown the things you listed above.
I have left in my suitcase, only CONTENTEDNESS, so my luggage is now the lightest one.
In reality, when I travel I prefer to take with me a troller or a shoulder bag. Other stuff like suitcase (prescribed size) or a carton pack is gone in luggage. To be light I even try to wear light clothes in summer, and only a jacket in addition in winter.
Rosemary, how about your life suitcase? Can you describe it?
Camel, what is your life luggage? Is it heavy?
Estanis, what do you do for that?
Amazing blog. As usual ;)
pasibo Honey Bee, I like to carry a suite case that contains, my pyjamas, toothpaste and brush and a spare suit and some underwears. during travelling, I prefer light luggage. Could you see my blog, Hina and give me your point of view?
Batuhan, thanks, but you know before writing I always ask myself about the topic for blogging. I don't want to copy/paste, I don't want to discuss common things where I know all answers. I'm not 23 to ask people around me - how to live?:)
You know we have 2 ears and 1 mouth - we should listen more than talk....but! we have 10 fingers!) Make a conclusion now :)))))
Thanks for feedback :)
