The semester is winding down, which means, once again, I am packing my life into two suitcases.
This time, I will be packing for a year away for Abu Dhabi - for a year in Ghana, in New York, at home.
Some things stay constant when I pack - small things, but things that have emotional and personal value.
The title of this post refers to the novel The Things They Carried, a war novel consisting of short stories. The namesake story talks about what the soldiers carry, what reminds them of home, what holds meaning.
As I figure out what will be staying in Abu Dhabi, and what will be traveling on, I thought I would compose my own list of the things I carry.
- A marble.
- 2 coins.
- A set of Islamic prayer beads.
- Letters.
- A ring.
- Pictures.
- Small statues.
- Notebooks, primarily composition books.
- A flag.
- My tattoo.
- Memories.
- Certain books.
- History.
- Love.
- A frame.
- Stories.
