I had the same experience. I thought I’d feel sad and overwhelmed at losing so many of my treasures but it was actually therapeutic. There are a couple of regrets over things I let go of but I had no time to think as our house sold in two days. We had to vacate quickly. If you are considering a move, be prepared in case the same happens to you. However, overall I am happy with my decisions. Keeping only things I truly value gave me a new appreciation for them. Redecorating provided me with the opportunity to showcase them in a new environment and appreciate them all over again. It’s been both rewarding and uplifting!
