today i learned [11/06]

i am bad at keeping things like this together.
haha, i missed a day of what i learned.
that's okay, i work a lot!

so today i learned [once again] that
things can be gone so fast.

a fellow cashier of mine's house burned down...
early this morning, i guess.
she lost EVERYTHING. everything.
i can't imagine losing everything in my house.
it was caused by a neighboring building, i guess.
so sad.

i need to hold more value in the things i have
and not always be looking for the next thing to buy.
material things are not everything, i know...
and if your house burns down and everyone lives,
at least you have each other, right?

but all those memories...

EVERYTHING!
i can't imagine losing everything.
even her clothes!


my thoughts go out to mary ellen,
hope things are okay with her.

watching everything you own
and everything you've worked for
and all of your memories
burn to the ground...
sad.sad.sad.


and she was going to come to work today!!!


tops is NOT that important.
i promise! haha.

but knowing me, i would probably go to work
just to distract myself.
oh no, i am turning into my mom.
