dearly beloved
i am sad to report the imminent loss of a prized and valuable entity in my life: the favorite pair of jeans. i knew they were sick; their signs of wear were hard to ignore, much as i tried to be cheerful and supportive. but they seem to be fading fast, and the other day i found irreparable damage that has forced me to begin the denim's last rites.
let's take a moment and reflect on our life together. these jeans have been through a lot with me. they've been there with first dates and first heartbreaks. they've seen more places than my passport and have borne more wear and tear than perhaps my heart itself. they've been with me through the best of times, and the worst, and have still supported me even with the swings i have put them through (plus or minus 20 pounds at times). while perhaps strained, they have never really complained.
i know there exist support groups for those who have lost all kinds of important relationships out there, but what about this considerable connection?
current mood: oh sad.
