The Bags In The Bathroom

By Courtney Kattengell · Archive date: July 28, 2026

You have been trying to restore yourself in a room filled with everyone else's belongings.

Their expectations. Their urgency. Their opinions. Their unfinished business.

No wonder rest has felt difficult.

Before you can sink into the bath, you may have to move a few bags. Before you can hear yourself, you may have to remove what was never yours to carry.

Creating space is not selfish. Returning someone else's burden is not abandonment.

It is how you remember that you live here too.
