I Need My Stuff Man!

Daily writing prompt
What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

We are born without possessions. We don’t even understand possessions until we are a couple of years old, and then it’s “I want,” anything and everything in our surroundings. Now that I’ve just written that, it occurs to me, we don’t ever truly grow out of that do we?

I’m happy with my possessions, but there’s always a little something else I could justify as a want, or a need. There’s always some little something we’d like to have for multitudes of reasons, be it small, or be it large, or in between.

But to answer the question, the answer is simply, start over.

People lose everything all the time. Fires, hurricanes, floods, tornados, the tax man, or for some unlucky folks, prison. The only logical path is to start over. It is the natural way I think. We build from scratch and get back on our feet, no matter the reason.

It’s as inevitable as the sun rising tomorrow. It’s what we do.

I would know no other way. I might not get back to where I was, but I’d work to improve somehow, some way. Only having to actually do it, will determine how it pans out.

Just not right now ok? I’d like to enjoy what we have for a while yet.
