a warm fuzzy
Today, I stopped at 7-11 to buy a Coke, gum, and some other stuff... the cashier noticed I wasn't as happy as I normally am and commented on it. She's super nice, and while I've tried to remember her name my entire way to work, I've blanked. I have several memories of staring at her name tag promising myself I'd remember her name, but alas, no name.
Anyways, as I was leaving, she said, "Have a good day, sweetie..." and I walked out the door. "Sweetie". A simple term of endearment, but it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. And I know it probably is just something that she always said, and to be honest, I heard her call the lady infront of me a sweetie as well, but... isn't everyone in the world just wanting to be special and loved by someone? Don't we all want to know we're important to someone? Isn't the need to be loved like a basic human need? If you don't get that, the whole structure of how your life will be lived is screwed up... There's millions of cases of people who turn to drugs or alcohol or sex or some other vice just because somewhere along the line, someone hurt them or failed to love them or stuff happened... I'm not going all 60s hippie on you and saying "all we need is love", although that John Lennon song in "Moulin Rouge" was awesome.... And I also know the whole topic of love and how "why can't we all just get along" has been butchered, but... I don't know.
All I know is stuff happens and today was one of those days that I needed to be a "sweetie" to someone and God bless her for blessing me.
