A backpack, by definition, is a bag with two shoulder straps that is worn on the back to carry personal items, school supplies, or hiking gear.
But to most of us, it is so much more.
Our trusty companion that gets us through the day. Our side-kick. Our can't-leave-home-without it. It can be new with adventures on the horizon or well-worn holding cherished memories; utilitarian by design or all decked out as an extension of our personality.
