Comfort item

Do you have a comfort item? 

I know they come in like bears, blankets, jewellery and curious if you have something that brings you comfort.

I have a necklace that was my mums and a bracelet, also a blanket, but that makes me feel like a child. 

Got a lot on today - 2 buses to my hospital appointment - and then I've got to find where I need to go and in my opinion hospital are so hard to navigate! 

I have to admit I'm taking my blanket lol. Hopefully it'll make me feel easier.

Look forward to seeing if you have a comfort item :)

  • I got rid of all my ‘comfort things’ when I went homeless the first time. I only optimise what I can walk away with, I guess those are ‘comfort things’, but I refer to that stuff as ‘armour’..

    That would include: My boots; headphones; under-attire; coat-and-mac combo; my messenger, backpack, and duffle-bag (old-school Trakke); notebook-and-pen; and my phone. All of which are essential and not interchangeable..

    When people ask me, unofficially, where I live I say NFA and have done for the past 7 years. My ‘armour’ is a reflection of my belief, that I am insecure, and I would be terrified all-the-time if I didn’t have that secured..

    Sorry for the over-share, but I felt I needed to make the distinction, in order to answer..Sweat smile
