"Working at a sugar store is a blessing in disguise."
That's what my friend Jenni told me. She then proceeded to tell me that I could have all of the free treats that I wanted and get a peak into people's personal lives, and she was right.
People would come in and out. Some with their kids, some with their significant others.
Girls and boys would walk in with tears just wanting a little bit of sugar-- which then leaded to two or three full boxes. I never judged.
The store would always be craziest on Valentine's Day.
And then every once and a while, Avery Harrison will waltz in his drunken glory and spill his sorrows to the girl behind the counter and I'd have to swear not to tell.
Blessing in disguise? I'd beg to differ on that one.

The Seven Deadly Sins (girlxgirl)
"Sometimes the hardest thing in life is accepting that no matter what you do, you can't plan for everything to end accordantly. Sometimes, it's the mere fact of trying that causes things to unfold in the most unexpected ways. And sometimes, allowing one small change in your daily life can cause the biggest ripple effect. For me, the change in my daily routine came in form of a girl with purple eyes and black wings. Our first encounter, whether an answer to one of my many forgotten prayer, alternate my view of reality. Unbeknownst to me, Alexandra McCartney was a walking sin waiting to be forgiven, and I was the answer to her silent prayers." Fixtured with routines and habits, Skylar Charms has only even known one thing; nothing is permanent and everything is subject to change. It was a lesson she learned early on in life and because of it, she was contempt with finding familiarity in the inconsequential routines she established. For Skylar, she was okay with being simple because with simplicity comes a sense of innocence, something she couldn't find anywhere else in her new home town. What was meant to be a routine school year for Skylar toppled when she met Alexandra McCartney, who unlike her, found familiarity in the chaos of things. All it took, however, was one insignificant answer for a saint to meet a forgivable sinner.
