this morning #2278.

this morning, after an extended hiatus, i decided that i’d been away from the diner long enough. too long, really. i’d been doing a bunch of thinking lately & came to the conclusion that, in the end, nobody cares about what happened earlier this year. just me. they’ve likely already moved past that low moment in my life when i tried to get away with eating a full breakfast & then ducking out without paying. safe to say that my plan didn’t work. it wasn’t well thought out. they didn’t call the cops though. just asked me to leave. didn't even add “and don’t come back.” we used to be like family. friends, at least. i have to believe that they understand what i was going through at the time. wasn’t in my right mind. today, that’s not the case. i’m in a much more stable place.
