What's in Your Wallet?

What’s in your wallet?

If someone was to find my wallet they would probably think that I was a total slob. I don’t really have a wallet, it’s a purse and it has just been upgraded from a small, easy to manage space, to a larger, more open backpack. In there you will find the usual assortment of credit cards, store cards, library cards etc. You will also find an (large) assortment of old receipts, gum wrappers and probably a couple of pounds of change. There is no pictures in there, or any other identifying documents. Even though there are a few pockets for organizational purposes, everything is really just thrown in there.

Based on what’s in my wallet, the assumption might be made that whoever it belongs to must be very disorganized. There is no indication that this person has any children, or any family connection due to the lack of personal pictures. The assumption might be made that the lack of a health card membership indicates that the person is not athletic. The library card could mean the person is intellectual. The professional membership card would indicate that the person is in the healthcare field.

If a person had no other information about me than this, they would miss the fact that the owner of this purse is really a very detail oriented, organized, semi-healthy (but not really athletic) individual. The person who owns this purse is just very busy pursuing a Bachelor’s degree while working full time. They would miss the fact that this person is actually a dedicated, loving, very busy, single mother. The mess doesn’t represent a slob, it simply represents a very busy person!
