Entry: So many places I've been loving for years are closing. I am nostalgia in human form.

Today, I went to the charity shop. One of the charity shops in my city, the one most near where i live. 

I've known the store for ages, and found out it will close in just a month. Came in, and everything was scattered around, messy, but the rooms also seemed emptier than usual. I was confused until i heard someone ask another if the store was closing. The lady said yes. 

That made me kind of sad. The workers seemed moodier too.  Bought three CDs for the cheapest price ever. They kept talking about the store closing. I'm shy, I don't talk much, i just kept waiting for my turn to pay and listened to the people conversating. 

Apparently, it's not their choice to close. The closing of the store is beneficial to the building of other apartments. I'm thinking, everything that i liked that has closed before, has been either turned into expensive apartments or abandoned. So many memories are coming back to me. Of the dollar store i visited in middle school whenever i felt lonely or skipped class, that closed because the employees weren't getting paid enough. Or parks in other places i've briefly lived in, playgrounds that no one notices anymore. Nostalgia kills me sometimes. I'm sure I'll make some other memories in the future I can look back and smile at, but knowing so many of the things I loved for years close or get forgotten, is kind of a tearjerker.
