I'm grateful for the amount of shit I've accumulated. I was actually thinking about it last night - I've managed to gather a lot of stuff over the last 5 years. Before that I actually had very little, I had a $30 Optus phone and a rubbish bag with a days worth of clothes. That was all I had when I entered care in 2018.

Since then I've managed to get so much more than I could've ever predicted. It's really, really weird to think about. And even with the theft and destruction of a bunch of things, it hasn't really affected me much. I don't mean mentally, obviously it didn't feel good to lose my things, but in terms of everything else, I still have enough things that I'm able to do just about everything I want/need to do. I can still play my games and work on (some) of my projects. That's crazy too, and I'm really really lucky to have the amount of things I do
