Excuse the tired shopgirl, there was a toddler meltdown at 6am. But what in the actual??
I’m being pitied for having a store with beautiful things? Is this for real?
Edit to add after cooling down a bit, ha ha.
Why does this bother me? My store is my life’s work. Other than my son, it’s the love of my life. I have worked through so much you cannot even see in order to be blessed to get to do this everyday and crazily enough—to still LOVE it. To still wake up every day with that burning desire to build something big and better than I did yesterday. There is so much passion in this shop. I don’t just do it for “money”. Believe me, I made more in my soul sucking district manager career. I do this because I love it and I love sharing the joy you find shopping and creating this beauty with the treasures I find. To have it demeaned as something to pity is beyond insulting and incredibly unnecessary.
