"I'm a terrible person for carrying things around. I carry everything around with me, it's like my home"
About this Quote
The kicker is the final clause: "it's like my home". Home becomes portable, not rooted. That’s less a quirky habit than a coping mechanism. The objects aren’t just stuff; they’re continuity, proof that you can recreate stability on demand. The syntax mirrors the psychology: a quick, breathless run-on that mimics the compulsive logic of packing - one item suggests another, and soon you’re carrying the whole world because you can’t predict what you’ll need from it.
It’s a small line about bags that doubles as a soft-edged statement about insecurity, control, and the modern condition of living slightly unmoored.
