Men, if someone gave you a box of everything you have ever lost, what’s the first thing you’d look for?

1. My fucking sanity

2. I would throw the box away before I get tempted to open it. What is lost should stay lost forever.

3. My Pokémon cards (stolen), my Pokémon cards again (stolen), Nintendo ds games (lost/stolen), completed power rangers sticker book (lost/stolen), mid-1990’s USHRA Monster Truck guide/program (lost), my brothers Z-Bot that his teacher took away and never returned. That’s about it, I think. Oh I’ve had two pairs of Ray-Bans stolen, one GPS, and one tool set, yea that’s all

4. The missiles from the power rangers motorcycle i lost when i was 4.had just gotten it from a family easter, was driving home when i hit the launch button they went right out he window and into the intestate.

5. Gamboy SP with pokemon Emerald

6. My foreskin. I am doing foreskin restoration to try and get it back.

7. Edison phonograph that was stolen years ago during a home break in. Bet they had no idea what it was since I still have the horn and all cylinder records. It was handed down for generations and I can’t get the money together to replace it.

8. I can’t recall what I’ve lost in the past, but as soon I’d see the things I’d know what’s the thing I’d take

10. Where the fuck is my blue hoodie:(

11. My hair.

12. It would mainly just be a pile of pens and tape measures.

13. My optimism.

14. I wouldn’t have to look for it, they found it for me.

15. My dog Tommy 🙁

16. My action force paddle

17. Happiness (never had that honestly even from childhood), my mental health (taken by all the stress my life has been), my career (that’s a nasty story), my family (I’ve already been at that point where I don’t have my father and mother, and no wife/children). I could go on, but yeah what I’ve lost would take one of those big semi crates to hold.

18. The Ninja Turtle watch I somehow lost when I was 5 or so! I remembered having it on my wrist when we got in the car to move to a new city, and then I never saw it again.

19. My confidence.

20. A watch I got for christmas when I was 9 or 10. It was a talking watch with a neat face that moved around and could be interacted with or something. I don’t remember much about it other than being super excited about it and then wearing it to school once and it disappearing forever. It was in the mid-90s. I don’t know what it’s called and can’t find any whiff of the product online and my parents don’t remember it. I don’t even know why I remember this so clearly. I think I just want to see it again to prove to myself it was real.

21. Does stolen stuff count?

    I want my Magic The Gathering cards back. I had 2 of every dual land in there along with all the good tutors.

22. The photos from the New Zealand backpacking trip back in 1995 – don’t know when they disappeared.

    That handmade knife with leather and silver sheath I got from my uncle the knife smith back when I was 14 – pretty sure my cousin stole it and sold it.

    The collection of very old coins I got from my grandfather- lost on the train back from visiting them.

    I realise I haven’t really lost anything huge in my 53 year old life. I have left behind a lot though, left personal belongings and started over.

23. My Gameboy I lost in a car accident when I was 6. My Gameboy I left on a bus when I was 8.

24. My freedom.

25. My autonomy would be nice.

26. The drive to become better.

27. my mind

28. My Dad. Along with my ninja turtle helicopter with boxing gloves.

29. Shining Charizard.

    I got one from a booster pack as a kid, and I have been *increasingly* sad about it only becoming more (in)famous and expensive with time. I’ve watched it rise from ~$100 to get online, to where it is now at several hundred.

    I just liked collecting the cards way back when. 🙁

30. My faith in humanity.

31. My humanity.

32. My happiness

33. My cat.

34. 10mm sockets

35. My will to live most likely

36. My dignity that I let me ex wife have for too long. Got that back now but I’d appreciate the missing 10 years back too

37. My way

38. A nice simple black shirt with a small penguin embroidered into it.

39. The big bag of weed I lost four days after starting a cross country pedal bike tour. Ughhhh.

40. Tron Uprising poster. Was signed by Bruce Boxleitner (the original Tron) and Elijah Wood.

    To this day I have no idea how I lost it. I put it in a poster tube and when I got home it was just not in any of the poster tubes I brought with me. Really cool dual-sided poster, and I think the signatures were personalized to me so it’s worthless to anyone who doesn’t have my name (my name is rare). I would’ve framed it.

41. hope

42. A Buck 110 my dad gave me 45 years ago.

43. My soul, and then my batman watch.

44. My metabolism.

45. Voltron

46. The feeling of being a kid again

47. My heart.
