   I had too many things. My bedroom was often not tidy. I had bookcases with dirty books I never ______ and CDs I didn’t listen to. My drawers were filled with clothes I never wore. I was getting upset because I had no ____ in my bedroom. Then I read about minimalism （极简主义）. Minimalism suggests that you only keep the most necessary and important things and throw away everything else. After reading about minimalism, I felt encouraged to solve my problem.

I started clearing out a lot of the things which I didn’t use. I collected bags of clothes and gave them to poor people in need. I sold some of my CDs and books online. Although I knew that I would never need these things again, I still found it very ____ to throw them away. My brain tried to stop me from letting them go. I said to myself ^“I might need that in the future!^” or “Won’t I be sad if I lose that?^” But the thing was, I knew I couldn’t keep everything.
