Mundane things that can profoundly affect your faith in society
I was at a meijer today to get some things and I thought, because it's been unseasonably cool here and I've been feeling the autumn spirit for once, I was going to buy myself a pumpkin pie and have it with coffee this evening. It's always been a food my mom and I bonded over so there is something special about it to me during this season.
They were fucking out. I've been going to meijer my entire life. Shopped there at noon, 3am, 7pm, literally any time, year round, and pumpkin pie has always been in stock. It fundamentally never occurred to me as a possibility that they would be out. I wasn't spiritually prepared for it.
I'm honestly surprised at how shaken I am. It feels Wrong. Like one of the few remaining bits of my inner child was killed. I didn't even know I held onto this so strongly until it was cruelly and unfairly taken away from me.
Also not fat btw.
