i didn’t get the job but i got something better

i didn’t get the job

but i got what’s left of my insurance

and a sample pair of contacts so i can feel pretty for my cousins happiest day yet

i didn’t get the bees, but i will not abandon the birds

i stopped into planned parenthood first because that’s where i go when i’m really hurt bad. care no matter what

& asked if they were hiring. Maria walked me through the online process that i know so well and she told me she thought i was lovely. that she doesn’t usually work with new hires because she’s front desk but she’d tell them that about me. that she thought i was lovely. knowing not a thing about me. she thought i was lovely. i told her thank you. i went for a hug without having to embrace her at all. a place where tough decisions are made. where angels are and angels are made. our interaction, just that.
