“Possessions”

Sara Allwright

What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

I lost all my possessions when I was 15yrs old. I know…what possessions does a 15yr old have? A few cuddly toys, my skateboard, toys, my diaries, and a scrapbook filled with my athletic certificates.

But, more importantly, I lost my home, my friends and my family.

Present day: the only possession I have from childhood is one photograph of myself when I was about three months old.

So in that sense, I didn’t lose everything!

I now have a lot of possessions; trinkets and souvenir’s from my travels. My home has all the usual practicalities. The walls of my home are adorned with all my paintings.

But, what I don’t have is a family. Therefore, I ‘feel’ I have lost more than possessions.

On a positive note, I have a roof over my head, I’m healthy, and I have good friends 🤗.

Thank you for reading ✨🌻

  3. Possessions… No, values are better – true ones are never material. If we have loved ones, intelligence, imagination, experiences, and talents, we are never poor.
    I’m here for you if you need to talk or need support – know that! 🙂
    True friendship, in my opinion, is a treasure to find and requires so much more than empty statements (I’m a Northern girl, and that’s my mentality).
    It’s amazing that you have such people in your life: you are truly blessed. I hope you meet more true treasures on your path and are surrounded by the family you choose (united in spirit) ❤
