First—so sorry for your loss! Seriously. I totally get it! But also thank you for this beautiful post! I hope you bag find it’s way back to you, but yes, sounds (and looks) like it was an awesome run!!! ✨
I love how much meaning you brought out of a lost bag! I am like this with my clothes. Sometimes I'll see a photo of myself with a shirt I've lost, probably forgotten at the laundromat. In a way it does feel like a little piece of myself I'm missing. I also don't think this treatment of our belongings should be pathologized. Living in a throw away culture, it is admirable to have reverence for your belongings.
"I also don't think this treatment of our belongings should be pathologized." -- i absolutely agree, and you saying this makes me feel less sensitive about missing this item. when we spend so much time with certain things, they do become part of us in some way. and we should be able to celebrate and honor the things that matter to us, big or small. thanks for your kind and authentic words, Jeremy 💟
i think i need “nostalgia warrior” tatted on me because that’s me to a T. thanks for your kind words and it’s comforting for me to know that other people can relate ☺️
I have this bag, too! Its one of my favorites.
mine is still missing in action, nearly a year later! i’m still hopeful to stumble upon something similar one day 🤞🏾
