i looked through his bag on our first date

If I had a look into your bag, I can probably tell what kind of person you are. Lots of receipts, old candy wrappers and tissues? You're probably an indecisive person. No I'm just kidding. Unless... ?

So this isn't to encourage y'all to rummage through your date's bags btw. Don't do that lol. That's obviously invasive and she/he/they'll probably ghost you afterwards because of it. I think knowing what's inside a person's daily bag helps show what kind of person they are. It's not mean to be 100% exact and accurate. It gives a rough idea and it's for fun. What if you find a lighter in their bag? An inhaler? Some pills? A little notebook? A pair of tweezers? Nail clipper? Swiss army knife? These help give little clues and insights to their personality or habits. 

Also no, I didn't look through anyone's bag on any of my first dates (but eventually I do later on lol).
​

"What's in my bag?"

items in my bag sans the usual wallet, keys and phone.

I accidentally left out a few things because they were sitting on the side, so here's a separate shot of "additional items" that are in my bag regularly.
​ ​

OKAY. I'm going to pretend that this is NOT my bag and give my guess as to what someone with these items in their bag are like as a person. It's pretty hard to stay objective but I'm imagining a stranger who might've dropped these items by the sidewalk and I happen to see them.

What their bag says about them:
This person is practical and does not have time for bullshit. They like to stick to a plan but leave a little room for flexibility such as for any possible change of plans, but let's be honest, they're never ready for change. They like to take good care of myself and only bring along the essentials because clear bag = clear mind. They work very hard and are aware of it, but sometimes have trouble reaching out for help when they're swamped. They're independent and are comfortable with that but secretly crave companionship. A super reliable person. Seems like they don't have much going on but I wouldn't be too sure about that. Probably not a parent, maybe in college or a fresh graduate.

There's absolutely nothing interesting in my bag lol. A lot of the stuff I have in there is because of the long hours I'm normally out in the day from working and dancing. So I have eyedrops for when my eyes start feeling irritated and dry, wet wipes to wipe dirt or sweat, hair pins to keep my hair up, flavoured mints to keep me going through classes, my handy Airpods because musiccccccc is everything.

Now that MCO is happening, the only bag I ever use is my shopping bag. Apart from groceries it would only carry my wallet, keys and hand sanitiser.
​

Anyways, I wrote something pretty serious before this post but it didn't feel right for me to post it just yet, so I went with this fun little thing. If any of y'all ever wanna take a wild guess together about what personality would suit a bunch of items found in a bag, let's talk! Like... what would vlogger have in their daily bag? or a generous person? an impatient person? a single mom! I think it's all different. 

Thanks for sticking around! 'Til then. eliorkid♡
