    What if all they needed was the boxes! 😱

    Some dude bought my entire storage unit for about $20. They gave him my contact info so he could pass off the un-sellable bits like:

    • my degree from college
    • my passport, birth certificate
    • black and white photo albums I inherited
    • a stack of notebooks, completely full of my handwritten journal entries, dating back to 2000 when I started my journal. In a single stack they’d be about 4-5 feet tall
    • my baby clothes
    • a little red plastic “3” filled with photos from my third birthday
    • a million little souvenirs from my travels
    • a first place ribbon from a cross country race

    I don’t know if he dumped it in a dumpster, or maybe there’s some weird intensely_human museum out in the desert, or he was able to sell that shit, or what.

      I never understand people who buy the contents of storage units. Profiting off the misfortune of others is just horrible. I’d love to fill a bunch of boxes with raw sewage or something and stop making payments on a unit…
