I met this guy a couple of weeks ago and last weekend, we were hanging out with a couple of other people. It was a great night, we went hard like we were going to be young forever; got to see the sun set and rise, it was wonderful but before I get ahead of myself. He was wearing this badass leather jacket and when I asked him about it, he told me the story behind it which warmed my heart and seeing as it is the holiday season, all of our hearts could use a little warming, it went something like this; he bought it at a thrift store when he was in Canada and found a love letter in the pocket which insinuated that the man whom it belonged to had a job opportunity and in Canada so he moved but it didn't work out so he was stuck there with no money and he wished he'd never left and how much he missed her and wanted to be back with her. Being the curious person, my friend (whom will remain nameless) was, he tracked down the woman to whom it was written to and come to find out the man had sold just about everything he had, the jacket included to get enough money to get to Washington DC, where his love was located, and right before he got to DC, he got in a car crash and died. The woman showed him pictures of our mysterious stranger and he said and iquote, that jacket is the reason he believes in love. I just thought this was a story I had to share with you guys because it's little things like this, that makes it all worth it.
