To the lovely fellow who was having a small yard sale on Agricola Street on Monday: Thank you! My partner and I came to look over your collection of VHS tapes and DVDs and ended up staying to chat.
I hope you see this so you can know that we really enjoyed talking with you and went straight home after to enjoy the DVDs you sold us. I love these films and will treasure them. I could tell they meant a lot to you, and now they mean a lot to us, too.
I hope that the money you earned selling your treasures helps you get wherever it is you’re trying to go <3
