“People are always saying that change is a good thing. But all they’re really saying is that something you didn’t want to happen at all… has happened. My store is closing this week. I own a store, did I ever tell you that? It’s a lovely store, and in a week it’ll be something really depressing, like a Baby Gap. Soon, it’ll be just a memory. In fact, someone, some foolish person, will probably think it’s a tribute to this city, the way it keeps changing on you, the way you can never count on it, or something. I know because that’s the sort of thing I’m always saying. But the truth is… I’m heartbroken.”
I know that people thought we were Fox Books, but I really feel like Meg right about now.
My store IS closing. My store, my company, that held on by a thread for so long is coming to an end. If I am being honest with you, I have been planning on moving on for awhile now, and was casually looking for a new challenge in my life. I needed the store to be there so I could still come see Jose and Doug, ride the escalator, and get distracted by new kids picture books and insist that the next person I come across read it too, while I laugh over their shoulder.
I am so very sad.
