“Even though the suitcase was heavy I carried it by the handle as I walked into the departure hall. I detested the tiny wheels, first of all because they were feminine, thus not worthy of a man, a man should carry, not roll, secondly because they suggested easy options, shortcuts, savings, rationality, which I despised and opposed wherever I could, even where it was of the most trivial significance. Why should you live in a world without feeling its weight? Were we just images? And what were we actually saving energy for with these energy-saving devices?”
― Karl Ove Knausgaard

“Up 5.15 a.m. thinking, packpackpack. I appear to have accumulated more things. How did this happen? I haven't shopped. Think my bath oils have bred.”

“Pariah Luggage by Stewart Stafford

I am the last piece of luggage,
On the baggage carousel,
If there's a suitcase deity,
It has cursed and forsaken me.

I see the excited faces drop,
Blank me and turn away,
And around I go yet again,
Condemned to ovoid limbo.

The stumbling supermodel,
On a mortification catwalk,
Bursting at badly-taped seams,
Spilling contents everywhere.

On my next lap of shame,
Those same faces show pity,
For the uninvited leper guest,
At life's most fugacious "party."

“She said her heavy luggage had wheels, so I said, “Here, why don’t I carry that for you?” I was in stupid love.

“Don’t wear all of your luggage
Budget airlines keep the fare down by providing the bare minimum. A seat. And that’s it. Anything else, like a bag or a biscuit or a bit of dignity, is going to cost you extra. That’s why the canny travellers wear layer upon layer of clothing and stuff their pockets with phone chargers, shoes, iPads, bottled water, crushed up bags of McDonald’s and other snacks, and then sew their jewels and valuables into the hems of their coats. Okay, maybe I made that last one up, but it’s a fine line between wearing a few extra items to save on luggage costs and looking like you’re escaping a fascist regime.”
