It Came With A Bag

by Chris Moore www.etsy.com

I read a note written on a mini scroll, something that delighted me. Also, the fact that you showed up utterly delighted me as I ate my mediocre veggie wrap. So, thank you for the crinkled In-N-Out bag with the Girl Scout goodies as well as the empty styrofoam coffee cup. ( i didn't understand it, but I'll take it as a symbol and here's what it symbolizes: you give me an empty cup because you know at the moment I feel empty, thus the cup needs to be filled. I need to fill it- give it a soul- a purpose. I need to fill the gaps. okay? cool).
Surprises are the greatest, especially because I didn't realize how lonely I was feeling until I was briefly surprised, and that was enough. I digress, I read the note and smiled a lot and wanted to cry a lot because it mentioned all the things we could do this weekend like go to our favorite trendy place and it mentioned "promise cookies" which I thought was great. In general, things have been building up and it doesn't help that I'm as bloated as a balloon, eating everything in sight, and wanting to be wanted. (Can you guess what I'm going through for the next 3-5 days??) Anyway, I needed something to make me face the loneliness that has been brought unto me since my quick release from friendship-dom. Then I realized, I haven't lost all that much, because I still have people who have done more for me and care more for me than the one lost soul. You are great and you are also surrounded by people who would jump in front of a bus for you and surprise you mid veggie wrap. ;)
