Whats in my wallet

Unfortunately, I know all to well what it feels like to lose your wallet. About two months ago, somewhere between the Safeway Deli in Arlington and my car in the parking lot, I dropped my wallet out of my coat pocket. I still do not have everything replaced. I realized right away how much I really do depend on everything inside of my wallet. Inside of my new wallet I have: my driver’s license, a blockbuster membership card (I have used this once), my Everett public library card, a cut out discount coupon for 40% off any bedding at Bed, Bath and Beyond store (I always wondered where is the “beyond” section), and the most used thing of course my visa debit card.
Each of these things represent something about myself. The drivers license indicates not only that I can drive but my age, gender, where I live etc… as well. The Blockbuster card would indicate that I like movies, which would be completely accurate. My library card shows that I expand my search of knowledge beyond just everyday interactions and that I am an active part of my community. The discount coupon could be interpreted in a number of ways. I think most people would conclude that I am a little frugal and that I keep a close eye on my assets. Also being that this is a Bed, Bath and Beyond coupon, one might assume that I am in need of a new bedding set (very true).
The fact that there is no money in my wallet would not indicate as much as it would have maybe fifteen years ago I believe. I think that in today’s world it is not that uncommon to not have any cash as you go about your daily activities. Even McDonald’s and other fast food restaurants offer plastic alternatives for paying for your food. In this rush, rush world I think the debit card would tell the least about myself. One could conclude however that I am a neat and clean person in general because there is nothing in my wallet that I do not need. I really do not like any kind of clutter in my life.
I think that if a stranger went through my wallet he or she would not have a very good understanding of me at all. The fact that I did lose my wallet just a short time ago, this person would not realize how important my family is to me because there is not any pictures of them in there. They also would not have any idea how much I love sports. I have nothing in my wallet that indicates that I have any outside interests in this world except that I go to the library and Blockbuster.
