Did anything make you cry today?

Well, sometimes a snapshot in a beautiful moment can bring emotions to the forefront…

Was walking the mall, minding my own business, peeked into an earring store to see if there were any cute girls shopping…

There was, I think she looked around 7, looking up at her dad explaining the merits of her earring options…he was bent forward, taking in every word, eyes locked, full attention on her…

And just like that! my eyes well up, I couldn’t even hear the actual conversation but I fell in love with their moment…

Now I’ve lost my narcissistic, self involved man card cause I got melted…not walking that mall anymore 😁
 
Not so much cry as just smile sadly.

A few days ago, my baby sister took me to the grocery store. When we pulled into the parking space, there was a dog in a pickup bed across the lot that fixated on me. When I got out of the vehicle, that poor dog's entire ass started wagging so hard its tail was thumping against both sides of the truck bed.

I should note that I had never so much as visited this town before my sister rescued me from the apartment I lost to AI (long story), and I'd certainly never met this dog.

You just don't mess with someone else's dog without their express permission. So, I smiled and said, "yes, I see you, beautiful." Which made this poor dog whimper-whine and wiggle even more. It was maybe the hardest thing I've ever done, but I limped on past and into the store with my baby sis (who was looking at me strangely), and when we came out, the truck (and more importantly, the furry rider) were gone.

The last three years, three months, and seventeen days are the longest of my entire life I have been without a canine companion.

It was nice to get that greeting again. Bittersweet, perhaps. But, nice.

Oh, shut up. It's just allergies.
 
I've been finding it hard to cry but I feel like it a lot. 3 months of being homeless and living in my car is catching up I think, that's all. I used to think I was lonely before lol
