We seem to have lost at least 1 box in the move to LA, and appear to be missing a couple of random things (a pair of binoculars and an iron). Weirdly, the sense of uncertainty of the full set of unknown-known objects that might have been in the box makes for an odd sense of loss

Nothing actually important or of real sentimental value appears to be missing, so it’s probably ignorable, but still a box of externalized soul with indeterminate contents is gone, so the unknown-known objects seem to be imbued with the average significance of objects we own.

Yes, but not sure any of my stories about that kind of thing would fit in a tweet :) Rise of the digital => loss of the physical is a theme I explore in my art practice. It's a complex topic. We all imbue the objects in our lives with meaning—it's a kind of magic.

How about just a sample of the lost objects without explanations then

At a carnival, I won a glass pane with Garfield painted on it. I was 9. It was in a white paper sleeve. I walked all the way home with it. Very proud. At the top of the hill where our house was, it slid out of the paper sleeve and shattered all over the street. I was alone.

I lost my gameboy advance in elementary school and it was devastating. I was as depressed as a kid can be. Found it at a friend's house after a few months I think.

Can sympathize. Had my Gameboy color (with my Pokemon cartridge...) stolen from a cubby at the YMCA and felt shattered. Got a GB advance after that but it was never the same.

I put hundreds of hours into my Pokémon sapphire game as a pre teen and had captured 247 of 251 when my four year old cousin got her tongue on it and slobbered all over the cartridge. I can still see the moment in slo-mo in my head
