shoutout to Sprouts for having nothing that i needed selling me prepackaged pancetta like i don't deserve nice things. No one knew what bucatini is. This young, handsome cashier asked me if i found everything I needed i said no do you know what bucatini is he said no we both giggled he asked if i had a nice christmas i said yes how was yours he said it was okay my family gets smaller and smaller every year. he sounded so sad. I'm sorry, i said. i tried to hold his eye contact but he looked away. I wanted to cry lol I wanted to kiss him. "It's okay, it's the core group, and we love each other no matter what." And then he waved his coworker over to ring up my alcohol
