No Baggage!

His profile exclaimed..."No Baggage". I stopped and wondered, what exactly did that mean?

Did it mean not to have the experiences I went through in life that help mold me to who I am today? What would I be like without those learning tools? Who would I be? I must be swallow if I cannot feel. A lump of clay would have more personality then those who did not carry the baggage.

We have ALL been hurt, disappointed and betrayed. We are human and carry emotional scars, some even physical. I truly can not think of one person I know that has NOT been hurt by their parents, siblings, lovers or friends. Not one human that did NOT feel at onetime, a hole in their heart. Are we not emotional creatures?

We all carry baggage....somewhere down the road of life, you picked up a suitcase, it is whether you choose to hold on to it, and add more weight. making it heavy, weighing you down.

I am proud to say I have "baggage". I am proud that I went through those experiences so I could learn who I truly am. I hold no regrets from my past, how could I ever help someone, if I did not experience it myself? It would be like telling a drunk to quit drinking, when I never had a drink in my life. How would I know what it felt like to be a drunk? How could I have passion behind the words?

Perhaps your profile should read..."Got Baggage...did you learn?"

I kno where u comming from evry1 got some from something or someone at somestage in their life, but yanno what really ticks me off when people refer to children as baggage...now thats wrong!would you agree?
My children were suitcases I picked up along the way, I learned from them as much as they learned from me. They were not "Extra Baggage" but a suitcase I choose to carry for a while. Everything is temporary and soon they grew and left the nest.

BUT, I have two wonderful "suitcases" I would not trade for the world, they turned out to be learning adults, picking up their suitcases along the way. I have taught them, not to weigh them down, but carry them loosely and learn!
Well Said!yay
I quite agree with you about having suitcases. Mine have grown and left the nest, but one of them left me their small suitcase two years ago. She is three and a half now, beautiful, funny, and loving. It is just her and I the experiences I had are helping me as I help her with hers.

She will be grown too one day and be better prepared for her future because I am here now for her. peace
Bless your heart Sweet, for picking up the little suitcase.

There is a special place for you in heaven.

I love the line from one of the songs in "Rent" where the woman says life is too short, she's looking for baggage to go with hers.
I couldn't agree more. You will never find someone that doesn't have some kind of baggage. I like to say I try to keep mine to carry on size. :D I'm simply looking for someone who's baggage goes with mine.
no baggage could mean one of 2 things (where i come from any way )
1 it could mean no kids
2 it could mean you have problem with life & things around you ,mental problems etc etc
but im not an expert on such things ,
cheer up any move on & find what you are looking for ,
well nice for your experience,but never refer you lovely children as Baggage or suitecase their more than that.all you said i agreed with you.in life we all hurt,but if you have ability to make sure that those mistakes you made do not occurs again that makes you matured.
And to put it very simple life is a learning curve
