Walk through your empty house one last time before you move. Rooms remember things you’ll forget.

An empty room brings back things a full one hides. With the furniture gone, the space is closer to how it looked before your life happened in it, and the specific corners where things occurred become obvious again. Places hold memory better than memory does. Once you have handed the keys over, that access is gone for good.

Do the walk, alone, with no hurry, and go into every room including the ones you never used. Say what happened in each one out loud or in your head, whichever is less strange. Take a few photos of empty rooms rather than full ones.
