Abel comes from Rwanda. His father was murdered in front of his eyes.
Abel is still in highschool. Today he came to my house so he could do a presentation and try to sell us some knives. We bought a whole bunch and we're sending him to every single other house we can think of.
I'm filled with overwhelming saddness right now. I complain about a lot of things, and I think that things aren't going my way, but my father wasn't killed in front of me. And honnestly, nothing else really seems to matter. Even my new purse.
I mean, yeah, the purse is cute, but who the fuck really cares? I spent my day looking for a new watch, and this highschool kid is working two jobs so that he and his family can live in this country.
I'm a spoiled little girl, and I didn't realize it until now.

that is so sad.
i bitch about my life too, and then i hear things like that and feel like such an ass.
it makes so many things just seem so worthless, doesn't it?
i still like your purse, though.
