ode to a box

I've been re-organizing my office lately. Condensing boxes, etc. and decided that after perhaps 15 years or so I should let go of this box that once held as you can see, stationery and stickers.

It was with me in high school, college, and since but I didn't need it anymore.

I know, it's just a box. But it once held my passwords and secrets and hopes for the future, hidden under a flap that anyone could easily find but made me feel safer.

I'm sure many more boxes and things from my past have been tossed but I thought I'd give a special moment to this little box that served me well so many years. Many thanks box. Adios.
