Excess baggage is a symptom of something we are missing on the inside - a fear that we won’t be accepted for what we are, as if our selves are not enough. We bring too much of our past experience, the clutter of our emotions. These things get in the way and keep us from getting close to others. Then we are left w/ the task of having to find someone else to carry it, whether it is our luggage or our loneliness.
