I TOTALLY have one of those.
I made it a long time ago. It is a little box with a lock that I put really private reminders of why I am still here.
Notes from best friends.
Pictures of the ones that mean the most.
Poems that I wrote in the darkest times to remind myself that I got over things once and can do it again.
The problem has become that it is getting a bit too full. I need a new box because this one is starting to break and I feel that I've always needed this kind of reminder because if I didn't have it, I would have been gone a long time ago.
It's a great thing.
If you don't have one, think of making it one day.
It'll be worth it.

:smile: Heard about this sort of thing on another site and been trying to make one but never actually found a box lol..so my stuffs kinda all over the place..but thats good in a way. Anyway, mine is:
*Bill Bailey DVDs
*Favourite film in the whole world, which I can watch over and over
*Picture of me and my sister
*Card and some things from a special friend
*Notebook
*My livejournal thing...dont understand it..technical :unsure: but venting to no one helps
*A letter i wrote myself
*Phone, msn and skype :smile:

I wish I could finally get around to making my will, but I just can't get my sh*t together adn I hate to leave such a mess behind. Some days that's the only thing still keeping me here...
I used to plan on waht i would take out incase of a fire but I stopped that since my cat died and I foudn out thta compter disks - with all my poetry and writing on thme- only last for 5 - 10 years. Everything is so temporary.
What i keep RIGHT NOW in my open computer disk box is a little sparkly gilded Angel Pin that a friend (who never sends gifts) sent me this Christmas (actually for my birthday which is as close as Damn is to swearing). It's called a "wathcing over you angel" and since I can't decide waht to pin it on, I just keep it in front of me. That is the closest I'll get to the fabulous idea of a box of treasures. Great sticky/ idea - but 'm so down... Can't even type right
(But I'm looking at my angel and know someone loves me - it ain't nearly enough, but it's something)

I put together an emergency box after reading this thread. It really is a wonderful idea.
Mine contains:
* A CD of my favorite (non-depressing) songs. It opens and closes with "Let it Be."
* A pot's worth each of Earl Grey, Lady Grey, and whole bean coffee - my emergency stash.
* A copy of Night Watch, by Terry Pratchett.
* A Calvin and Hobbes collection.
* A stick of sandalwood incense.
* An orange (okay, that one's in the fridge, but it's in the box spiritually).
Thanks for the great idea!

This sounds crazy, I'm sorry to say, but I'd feel 'safe' if I had a syringe full of heroin because I think the world situation is overwhelming me, and I'm so alone. Nothing means anything to me, so I wouldn't have anything that I cared for, even pictures don't mean anything. The syringe would just mean if I really needed it, if N. Korea or Iran shoots off a nuc, then I wouldn't have to worry about dissolving in pain. Ironic sense maybe? Or too much CNN. Sorry to put a damper on the E. Box, but that would be mine. pat
