I was ringing up a customer today at work. It was a woman, and she had her son with her. The boy was drinking a Capri Sun. He finished the last drops and then he blew air through the straw, blowing it back up to its filled shape. Just like I always did when I was a kid. When I was his age. Everyone always did that. And then he said, “Look mom, just like brand new.” Just like we always did. I remembered all that. And I was overcome by that nostalgia. I wanted to run around the store, let tears run off my face, and scream about how I wish life were simple again, how I miss being a kid, and how I wish I could have not taken it for granted. But I couldn’t. I was at work, being an adult.
Sometimes when I’m feeling really down I try to remind myself how beautiful this world is. And that every person is beautiful too. And that there is so much love around me and that’s something to treasure. Every time I try to remind myself of that I fail.
But every once in a while, when I’m least expecting it, all that hits me. And I’m overwhelmed by the truth of it. And I never know when it’s going to hit me. It’s random. And that makes it all that much more beautiful when it happens.
