Good Will Hunting
I just want to say to the dozen or so people that criticize me for shopping at the Good Will, that I have never felt better about myself than I do now...
Most, if not all, of the credit goes to the Good Will... I am a working woman and earn a decent salary, but I can't afford to shop at the mall for dress clothes, work clothes, or any other kinds of fashion... So, I discovered the Good Will with my best friend, MJ one afternoon and we have been going back faithfully every week for the most wonderful deals...
It really kills me how people can be so ignorant about any individual that shops at a second hand store... I buy the most beautiful clothes at the Good Will... And I am proud to have saved a buck so that I can afford to feed myself and my cats...
There is nothing wrong with the way I dress and that is certainly evident to me because of the way it makes me feel... I feel beautiful now a days and like opening my closet and knowing that I don't have to feel like scum for wearing the same pair of pants twice or three times in one week...
The other criticism has come from people who think that I am taking all the good clothes aways from the people who really need it... the under privledged... I say that my money goes to support all of their wonderful facilities... And to support their activities... Besides I buy things at the Good Will and then I return home to wash, fold and bag the clothes that no longer fit me... It is a give and take.
Most importantly, the Good Will gives me an opportunity to be with my friend and to smile and carry on with him. I have met such terribly wonderful people through him... =she smiles=
Last night a small girl looked at me with big bright eyes and told me that I was beautiful... I was floored and my heart sank... I little girl with such outer and inner beauty shopping there because most likely her family needed to... she was honestly trying to decide betweebn two tops that she would later have to pay for with her own money... She smiled though at me and at MJ... you can't get that kind of innocence at a major shopping mall.
