I love a good bargain find. You’ll often see me elbow-deep in the bins at the Goodwill, shoveling through mountains of stuff to find some gold. I’ll spend all day there rifling through stuff that other people have discarded. One man’s trash, they say, is another man’s treasure, and I find that to be universally true. 

Sometimes you’ll find something so incredible that you can’t believe why someone would ever get rid of it. But I’m sure someone else thought that about your near-pristine Doc Martens that you could never quite break in no matter how hard you tried. We all have different experiences in life, and they lead us to different places. In your timeline, you’re giving away that Power Puff Girls alarm clock because you’re «an adult now.» In my timeline, I’m paying $5 for it because I’m «reclaiming the talismans of my youth.» We’re all on different journeys, babe.
