The Bag : Part 1

It's a whole new feeling all over again. Like owning a brand new bag, you get to discover the many pockets, the sumptuous linings, the smooth flow of the zips... And all you can do for the first few moments is really inhale the scent of leather and hold it close.

...

I'm a woman, what other metaphor would you imagine i use?

It's these special moments where you learn all you can about your new bag, discovering the little defects here and there, opening every zip, snap or button. It's these special moments where you plan the best pocket, opening or compartment to stuff your daily essential items, find the little details that only serves to endear your bag to you more, things that fit perfectly into your life.

...

It's these special moments before you fill it with your old purse that's almost breaking apart but can't bring yourself to throw away, your lip gloss which has melted a little from leaving your old bag in the sun too long, dozens of receipts and other little papers that makes up the baggage of your life that you stuff into your brand new special bag.

So cherish it, these moments.
