Everybody's got a story that can break your heart
Yesterday at work some girls were bitching about how one of the other girls we work with never smiles. I noticed it too and I figured she was just a grumpy person. Then I just stopped thinking about it. I really didn't care, she seemed nice enough, so meh! She and I were on close so we were just busy doing our things, she was doing cash and I was mopping the floor. Then some guy came in with a baby. It was the sweetest little kid ever. She went over took the little girl and gave her a HUGE kiss and the BIGGEST smile ever. It was incredibly sweet. They stayed around and chatted for a while, after they left she turned to me and was like "That's my baby." She was just beeming with pride, it was so cute. She started telling me about her life and all that and it just occured to me that apart from her little child she didn't have much to smile about. She's not the kind of person to bitch about things or anything, I guess I just got her at a moment where she felt like she could talk. I don't feel sorry for her or anything like that, but I just saw things from a different angle. So she doesn't smile ever, she's busy working and trying to make money to support her kid, who cares, it's really not our place to judge.
That whole thing just reminded me of an Amanda Marshall song - Everybody's Got a Story. I meet new people everyday and I know nothing about them, it's just crazy. It makes me a little frustrated with myself too because sometimes I jump to conclusions when someone is bitchy or rude. I judge them really fast and I'm like why she such a bitch? It doesn't really occur to me that something in her life could be incredibly wrong or that she's just having a bad day. Although I'm sure there are those bitchy people.
There's this really nice guy who always comes in and usually gets 2 subs. One of them is a meatball so I call him the meatball guy. Anyway, he and I started talking yesterday and he's actually a really (ew a bug just crawled out of my keyboard.) really nice guy. He never really appeared to be before. He was always kind of short and rushed. So today I was loading the pop cooler and that was beside his table and he and I had a really nice chat. Turns out that I everytime he comes in he's on a break from work so he doesn't have much time. Also turns out the meatball sub is for someone else everytime! It's just kind of funny 'cause know that I know that his behaviour completly makes sense. I guess I've learned my lesson and I'll stop jumping to conclusions about people so fast.
After all, everyone does have thier own story.
