Upside down

yesterday i didnt know what to post, so i didnt post anything. and today i didnt know either. i went back to our first year in boston and found photos of us packing around this time. we had lived in a temporary place for 3 months and were about to move to our current apartment. and now, after 3 years, there is only 1 night left here before i fly back to the netherlands.
yesterday some people came by and they took some of our stuff. i was so happy about that! and... one of them was actually flying to the netherlands that day, for just a week and he was willing to take 2 pairs of my shoes, my folder with recipes (i forgot to ship that, so stupid), and some other stuff!! today i could get rid of some more stuff to other victims i lured into our apartment, and then me and my sister brought quite some bags to the garbage receptacles that were already overflowing. i also put some small stuff in the hallway, and some of it was taken by our anonymous neighbors.... 
this picture i took somewhere in cambridge 2 years ago. right now i am not really here anymore, but i am definitely also not in the netherlands yet. i guess mostly im just worried about my stuff. now that i think about it, maybe i should start practising the philosophy of non-possession, as it is weird actually, how much you can worry about stupid possessions... but i think i wont start that until hmmm, at least next week or so.... ;)
i packed one suitcase, and my second one is half packed. i hope it will all fit but i am still not sure...
