I’m unhappy, and I’m not sure what to do with my stuff.

I (25F) recently moved to a new city to be with my partner. In a few days, they’ll be moving abroad for a fellowship program, and I’ll be staying where we are for work. <br><br>I wasn’t prepared for this, and the university offered it to him recently, so we didn’t have time to make arrangements. I’m upset, and I’m not sure what to do with the stuff we got together. We both enjoyed decorating and getting more things to make our home comfortable, and I don’t know what to do with it. I’m moving into a smaller space, so I can’t take everything with me, and I don’t want to, but I feel like every piece of furniture has a memory. <br><br>I’ve always believed that stuff is just stuff, and it doesn’t have any profound value, but now I’m going through a tough time and I’m not sure what to do with all these things that remind me of both the good times and the tough times. <br><br>Should I leave them behind? Should I try to bring as much as I can and display it in the new place? Or should I keep it in storage until I decide? How did you deal with objects that had sentimental value from a relationship that ended?
