We all collect things, sometimes subconsciously. The thought of ‘owning’ things makes us feel safe, content and fulfilled. It relieves us from anxiety and stress.
But think about it carefully. The huge video game library you hoped to enjoy one day, the books you kept buying but never read, the beautiful item you saved for the special occasion - did they bring you fun, make you more knowledgeable, brighten your days, or are they just a burden that occupies a space in you mind constantly and slows you down?
