A gal in her 20s backed into another car today in the parking lot.
She got out, looked so forlornly between the cars for a long while, then into the store. I made some notes just in case and headed in too.
The loudspeaker was calling for the owner. Found her in customer service, still looking frayed and anxious.
She looked apprehensive when she saw me coming over. Told her we ALL make mistakes, sorry it was her turn today. How good it was to see her stepping up about it, I admired her unabashedly. She teared up. Folks, she was holding so much in, and that just boiled her emotions over. She was relieved a little that someone was being nice to her, she was gracious, exhausted, worried, like awash, and crying.. I should've followed the urge to hug her, didn't know if it would help or sap her more though. She was so overwhelmed in all the ways, running the gamut.
The young have it hard, harder than my generation by far. They're also lovely.
