My house was burglarized and I found out how unproductive having more stuff can be

I was recently woken up at gunpoint in my bedroom with three masked burglars. They had broken into my house and stolen everything. They had even found my secret stash of cash. I was terrified, and i was blinded by the bright flashlight that one of the burglars was holding. I had no idea that they were thieves until they started yelling at me to give them money. <br><br>As I laid in bed, I realized I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of me. I didn't have to worry about my house getting burglarized again, or my car being stolen. <br><br>I was a little upset that all of my stuff was gone, but I got over it quickly. It was mainly materialistic things that I had accumulated over the years. I didn't really have any sentimental things on me. I was a little upset that my laptop got stolen but I got a replacement already. <br><br>I was also able to get a new phone and wallet. I was able to get by on everything i needed. <br><br>After the thieves left my house i felt a weird sense of happiness like a weight had came off me. <br><br>I was going through my house to see what was missing and I had everything i needed. I was happy I didn't have anything. <br><br>I still had all of my clothes, and a roof over my head still. I was just thankful that i wasn't shot during the robbery. <br><br>I think having a little amount of stuff makes life so much easier. <br><br>A lot of my stuff was gone but I felt unbothered.<br><br>I had all of my stuff but having nothing makes life so much better.
