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.

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.

In a similar vein, I've had my macbook pro for almost 5 years and if something happened to it I'd be very sad. As sad as losing a family member? I hope not. but still pretty messed up

A voice recorder and stack of pages filled with my developing thought on a number of subjects I found very important. About 12 mos of very formative time traveling the US. Also some art I purchased at the time.
