lost my travel backpack and pin collection—what would you do?
I can’t believe it—my favorite travel backpack, the one that’s been with me through thick and thin, was stolen two days ago. I’d stuffed it with all my travel pins, each one a little memory from places like Yellowstone, Niagara Falls, and even that tiny diner in Vermont with the best pancakes. Now, all those pins are gone. I keep thinking about the hours I spent hunting for just the right one in each spot, and how I’d show them off to friends back home. It’s not just the money, it’s all those memories that disappeared in a flash. I’m torn between trying to replace them or just starting fresh, but honestly, it feels like nothing will ever match the originals. Has anyone else lost something that felt like a piece of their journey? How did you move on? I keep replaying what happened and wondering if I should even bother collecting again, or if it’s just setting myself up for more heartbreak. I know it’s just stuff, but it sure doesn’t feel that way right now.
