Within

My purse usually gets a lot of attention regarding its size. I will sometimes hand it over to the people gaping at it and let them feel the weight. That really impresses them. I don't know many women that carry a purse that weighs as much as 3 gallons of water, but I do. My purse is actually a generously sized carry-on that I stuff like it was a Build-A-Bear. Within you will find many things: a year's supply of hand sanitizer, my glasses, 3 wallets (no, I do NOT have a lot of money, I just have things organized in my own obsessive-compulsive way), calendar, reading material, junk, all kinds of things that I probably don't even remember are in there. Most importantly, I have my writing materials in there: A pad holder, a note pad, two or three journals, and an array of writing utensils for every mood. Since I am an introvert, I use writing as my emotional outlet. And I am extremely emotional. My mind is full thoughts, ideas, and nonsense and should it decide it needs a release I have got to have those handy. So, I guess one could say that my purse contains my innermost feelings, my most personal thoughts, my hopes and worries. And those, folks, are very, very heavy.
