For I am going to move in my new house, I decide to give some clothes to my friends. The moment I hand over them to my friends, I realize that they look so beautiful and don't want to lose them. My friends are very happy to receieve the "gifts". Before leaving, she says to me :" if you wanna them back, you only have to tell me." Giving things away is not as smiple as I thought. Do you have the same experience with me? Perhaps, it should be" better to receive than to give".

I keep stuff as long as I can use them or like them but the moment I decide to give things away, I don’t think about them anymore. There’s more where they came from.
