The Things I Carry

I carry my phone everywhere I go, not because I use it often, but simply because I worry I may need it for emergencies, which stems from past experience when my dad crashed his golf cart down a ravine and had no phone to contact anyone. I also carry my wallet even though it would not really help me in emergencies. The things I carry are not all tangible, however. I also carry guilt, because I am quiet, I keep my mouth shut even when I should not. I carry responsibility, because I have to help keep my family together or else it will fall apart. I carry stress and worry, because I don’t know what will happen to my family after I move out, especially because I don’t want to keep in touch after I leave. I carry a sense of worthlessness because I feel like I have no goals in life, which seems to be an important part of life. I carry strong opinions, but only in a few areas, for example, I believe government is wrong no matter how it is run, I am an anarchist. I carry confusion, because there are many things I can not answer and others can’t answer it for me, such as questions about religion, and the point of life. I carry a sense of reserved calmness about me; I don’t let emotions overcome me, at least not outwardly. I am quiet and contemplative, keeping my thoughts to myself. I carry myself…

  1. You and I both have this in common. I too carry my phone with me everywhere i go. Without my phone I feel like I'm missing something. I feel like my day is so off.

  2. I am the same when it comes to carry your phone with you everywhere you go. I feel like without my phone a part of me is missing. ( as weird as that sounds) I know its not a good thing to always need your phone there with you but sometimes I worry like you, what if an emergency were to happen, then what?

  3. I am the same as you when it comes to carrying your phone with you everywhere you go. I feel like I always need my phone where ever I go, and if I ever don't have it I feel like something is missing. I wonder like you, what if an emergency where to happen, then what?
