nostalgic

I've been lacking updates on Instagram recently, 
and that's because I'm busy packing my room, clearing some old clothes, TRYING hard to throw out stuffs, cause I'M MOVING INTO A NEW HOUSE SOON!

I'm not really a huge fan in moving house, just because... I hate having to pack stuffs and unpack them afterwards. It's too tiring.
And my room is going to get downsized so I really don't have the luxury of space anymore to fit all my... (ahem) JUNK. :'(
Everyone tells me that my new room is bigger but somehow for me, it just feels smaller. 
It MAY look bigger but I dunno... it just FEELS smaller. 

There's so many memories associated with my old room, people who knew me will know why...
I'm not sure about new owner but I hope my room kinda stays the way it is now.

Anyhoo, packing my room is never an easy task (not when you have a lot of stuffs).
And I feel that I need everything in my room, and I end up not throwing away any thing but just packing everything. :/
I'm kind of a sentimentalist and a nostalgic person.
There are too many memories I try and wanna hold on to; may it be notes that were passed around during classes with my bestie, or some random papers from friends, Chinese New Year cards etc (yes, back then we still send CNY cards ok, not SMS-es).
It's sad really, as most of them don't even remember my existence anymore. :(
I always try very hard to throw all away but my heart is too soft, I can't harden my heart to do it.

I always tell myself this: No point clinging onto people who don't cling back to you. No point clinging onto unappreciative people who finds your love and carries a burden. Love goes both ways people.
I'm tired of caring for people who don't care back or appreciates it.
I'm tired of people taking advantage just because that person cares so much for you.
I'm tired of missing people who don't miss me back!

Heck, I always tell myself that but I can never find the heart to do it. Reason because I'm too sentimental.
But I also learnt that being sentimental hurts, it hurts so much sometimes that I'm so tired.
And so, that is why, to me; family comes 1st no matter what. Friends come and go but family is forever.
I will have to learn to only keep stuffs that are from my family & the selected few that are still important to me. :)

So all in all, I've packed almost 9-10 boxes, and it's not over yet. More to come because I don't throw away stuffs. :/
Not only that, I still keep clothes that are 6-7 years back; because they're my favourite! How can I throw them away? Too many memories with them.
Hopefully I'll come to love my new room more than my old one.
The main reason I am looking forward to my new room is because of my Japanese-inspired raised platform bed. *raises both hands*
Still hoping I can decorate my room the way I want it to be; white, simple, sleek, full of inspirations & less dust please!

Gtg dearies... I know I have been ignoring my blog lately but I will still try to update once in a while.
I love u guys.

Stay gold, xo~
