Yeah, the "fight to figure out what it actually means" part is so spot on. For me, the object gives a strong vibe or a feeling, but then I'm stuck trying to build a real scene around it. It's like having one puzzle piece and no picture on the box.

My cousin found a 1920s Coke bottle in a Phoenix parking lot.

Oh man, I used to hide that stuff too. Being honest totally changed the game for me.

Honestly, it's just a comment, not the end of the world.

Honestly, I just ask "do you want the quick fix or the full explanation" up front.
