In a very literal way, baggage weighs you down, because you're carrying the stuff you need to survive. I think this analogy can work mentally as well. All the negativity that we may carry as baggage (hurt, abuse, mental illness, etc.) is stuff that can be drawn upon later in life to try to avoid repeating old mistakes. So, while baggage is heavy, there's no reason why it can't be useful.To me, baggage is stuff you lug around with you that weighs you down.
