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 🤗.
