Do you like packing when you go on a trip? I am not good at it. I tend to take more items than I need. I know I can buy them at the places I go if I need more, but putting extra things in my luggage makes me feel safe. As you can see, my luggage gets bigger and heavier. On the other hand, I like the moment of unpacking when I come back home. When I open the suitcase, some things go into the washing machine, some things go into the closet, and other things go into the drawers. It makes me feel satisfied. I see the items I did not use in the luggage, but I do not regret taking them. I wish my bags had been lighter and smaller when I carried them, but I know that ”you can’t have your cake and eat it.”   (149 words)
