I move on...

I lost my wallet today.

I say "lost", although in all likelihood, it was stolen. Long story. Don't ask.

I realise what a strange thing identity is. If you were to lose all identifying documentation, such as a birth certificate, driver's licence, passport, etc., well; how could you legally identify yourself? Especially when so many institutions, such as a real estate agency, bank and so forth, rely on a "points system".

I've cancelled my bankcards. I'm getting a new student ID and learner's permit.

While I was on the phone to the bank, I suddenly thought, !do I want to stay with this bank?! !do I really need three separate accounts?! !and it's a good thing I'm getting a new learner's permit! !i think it had an old address on it! ...

I am not the contents of my wallet.

Making the arrangements is the strangest feeling. Yet strangely liberating.
