Writers Reflect on the Objects They Can't Let Go

A collection of personal essays explores the emotional and humorous connections to everyday items that linger in our lives.

Eight writers share deeply personal stories about objects they find difficult to part with, blending humor and sentimentality.
The essays cover a wide range of items, from a porcelain rabbit money box to a pair of 'magic pants' with transformative memories.
Themes of family, nostalgia, and identity emerge as contributors recount how these objects connect them to their pasts.
The series highlights the emotional weight of seemingly mundane possessions, such as a CRT television or a collection of orphaned earrings.
Each story underscores the universal challenge of letting go, revealing how objects can symbolize relationships, growth, and self-discovery.
