Turning 50 coincided with the author's third move in a year and a half, leading to a significant reevaluation of life priorities. Living in a 320-square-foot furnished apartment in Paris for three months, the author reflected on the necessity of reducing possessions, highlighted by the idea that material goods largely do not contribute to happiness. The experience reinforced self-discovery and underscored the liberating feeling associated with letting go of excess belongings, ultimately shifting focus toward valuing experiences and relationships instead.
Turning 50 prompted me to reevaluate my possessions during several moves, ultimately teaching me the importance of letting go of material belongings.
The experience of moving thrice in one year highlighted how little I truly needed and inspired a shift towards valuing experiences over possessions.
Living in a small Paris apartment with only two suitcases allowed me to focus on what truly mattered, confirming that less is often more.
This journey showed me that it's liberating to release attachments to material items, particularly as one navigates significant life changes like turning 50.
