The simplification process...

Just a quick question for those who have been down this path... perhaps from more "mainstream", to the "less is more" approach.

Have you ever regretted purging your belongings?

I am referring moreso to the emotional aspect than financial.

Are there "right" reasons, and "wrong" reasons, in your experience?

For a variety of reasons, I feel as though my life is lending itself to the "let the STUFF go" mentality. I am referring to an amount of belongings akin to http://mnmlist.com/50-things/ ... not COMPLETELY devoid of any creature comfort.

Whatever I decide, will have to be decided in the next week or two. I almost feel as though I am teetering on the edge and afraid to take the plunge, or that I've hit some sort of equivalent to writer's block. I also try to understand that I am my ideas and my actions, not my possessions. Yet still, there is ~30 years of my history there.
