Not mine to fix

Surrender Box

Some people call it a God Box. Write down the situation or outcome you keep trying to control (a court date, money, a test result, what someone thinks of you) and drop it in. It is sealed for 30 days, so you cannot keep taking it back out to worry over.

    Where it is kept: notes you drop in stay in this browser on this device only, so they are still sealed when you come back. They are never sent to this site or anyone else. It is a ritual, not a safe: anyone who uses this browser and knows how could find them, and clearing your browser data erases them. Burned notes are not kept at all.
