I love crossbody bags, they’re all I own. The other day I went out to get some things for my mom. I was checking out an aisle that had quite a few people but I tried to walk past to get to what I wanted. I have anxiety so my mind was just focusing on getting what I needed and then getting out. Everything around me would just tune out because I’d go into a ‘zone’ and soothe myself with words or recite what I’m there for. I got to the shelf and felt naked. I always put my finger on the loop of my bag, it makes me feel secure or safe? Idk. My bag wasn’t on me. I turned around and saw some guy running out of the store but by the time I got out he was gone. I could’ve told security or something but I felt like it wasn’t worth the hassle. Because of the exact fear of getting robbed I’d keep my phone in my jeans pocket along with my money. I have my earbuds clipped on to my belt loop with a case I crocheted. My bag didn’t have much aside from my wallet and some personal things in case of an emergency because it’s almost that time of the month again. My wallet only had my ID in it along with some coins. A sis be broke. I wasn’t really mad, just annoyed? The bag was gifted to me by my mother a few years ago and it would be a hassle to get a new ID card. I wouldn’t mind that because I took that pic when I was 15 and sleep deprived with the worst eye bags. I was able to get what I needed for my mom and I got home. She wasn’t happy with my nonchalant attitude towards the incident but she cooled down after a while because I was safe and home. As long as I had my phone which I needed for school (it’s barely functioning as is) and I was uninjured she was fine. My ID can easily be replaced. Kind of. I have trouble with my emotions and stuff so idk if my lack of a reaction was due to that. It just feels like some weird event that I simply moved on from? That guy didn’t gain anything anyway, no clue what he was trying to accomplish🤷🏽‍♀️
