Many years ago, I read online of a woman who sold a lifetime of possessions and moved from the west coast of America to Hawaii with one suitcase. Apparently she had never regretted that ____ to simplify her life, and she had never been ____. I remember wondering a lot about that story. I just couldn’t ____ how she could be happy without her things. What was it like waking every morning to a near ____ room, I wondered.
Years after _____ that article, I found myself at a crossroad in life. I had to sell all my possessions, _____ what I could fit into two suitcases. I was very worried about losing things that I had previously decided were as ____ to my existence as the air I breathe. ____ I knew this was the right thing to do at that time, I still felt a bit ____ about who I would be without all my stuff. Then I remembered that woman who had found happiness in Hawaii after radically (彻底地) downsizing her ____. At that moment I decided to ____ her lead. I told myself that parting with all my stuff was a time of ____ and self-discovery.
Life went on as usual. Better than usual, ____! I very quickly began to notice I felt ____ and freer than I had in a long time. And, ____, I felt at peace and ____. In the absence of anything else in my room, I began to notice the ____ of light and shadow, and the subtle (微妙的) variations in each hour of the day.
Over time I’ve come to see the benefit of ____ living. I’ve discovered the less stuff I have, the more ____ is my relationship with the things I have.
