    I can’t throw boxes away because I’ve moved so many times to avoid rising rental costs. I’m packing again right now, and it’s really nice to have the little inserts that kind of stabilize the consoles in their boxes

      In the past 14 years, ever since becoming an adult, I have had to move 11 different times. I have learned just how useful good boxes are. I can’t get rid of them, I’m gonna need them when I move again next year.

      Thank you. You just helped me get to the bottom of why I can’t let these stupid boxes go. I used to move every year.

      Now that I don’t move so much, I think I can throw some out.

        It’s crazy how strongly the brain tries to protect us from old stresses, without us being consciously aware of it.

        I’m glad you don’t need to move every year anymore! It’s one of those normalized things that truly shouldn’t be. I mean, it’s not the avocado toast that’s keeping homeownership out of reach, it’s the constant moving/application/deposit/etc fees we face so often

      I’ve never repacked a console in its original box, even when I’ve had it.
