feeling very soft & tender thinkin bout the way our lives briefly cross paths with others and the temporary bonds we form. like how someone can be a constant in your life for years— a classmate, a coworker, a neighbor, whatever— you see each other every day without ever really geting to know each other. and then one day you see them for the last time, and that's that. idk man it's kinda bittersweet and sad.

#shh #today i found out someone i used to work with died #she was my 'work mom' at my first job #she randomly messaged me once like 2yrs after i left that job to tell me she missed me & thought of me often #we had maybe 2 brief facebook convos in the 3 years since then. we were not present in each others lives. rly i have no reason to mourn her #but she died in february and i just heard about it today and i suddenly really miss her #now im thinking about other ppl who briefly touched my life. coworkers & neighbors & that one post office clerk who knew me by name #i hope theyre all doing ok. i wonder if they remember me
