craigslist

i remember a day when i didn't even know what craigslist was... what a memory of a simpler, more innocent time. My name is Mandy and I'm an addict. I am addicted to craigslist. it's my way of evaluating what people throw away, what people long for, and how people connect.
it's funny i've made these little pseudo friendships with people when approaching an exchange. i find that people are lonely and sad on the whole. i find myself wishing i could do more.
I've met a woman who didn't have enough money to buy toiletries for herself nd her daughter, a lonely older man collecting christmas decorations, a kid collecting 70's rock, a woman in love with a Tiffany's ring, and more.
I've found dogs that need homes, furniture on a curb, people in need, overpriced items and medical research projects.
I've realized that I have more than i need and i have alot to give.
