Storage
How much you hold onto — thoughts, emotions, relationships, experiences. Can be overloaded or carefully curated.
Nathan Weiser and the Burned-Down House
Storage is about what you hold onto and how much room it takes up. Nathan Weiser had spent ten years holding onto grief, guilt, and loss at a scale that consumed him. When the house burned, he discovered that his storage for material things had been largely cleared out by everything he'd already been through. He could acknowledge the loss without it taking over — because the space that might have been filled with attachment to things had already been replaced by something harder to lose.
