The news of Target packing up and leaving Canada hit a lot of people hard yesterday. I felt like crying myself, to be honest, and I'm not one of the thousands of workers out of a job.

Walking downtown yesterday, I was thinking of how sad I am that a favorite store will no longer be around. And about how sad it is that I am so sad. I started thinking of the things I will publicly post about on social media sites like Facebook that make me upset. I don't post about a lot of things that make me upset, at least not the things that matter most.

When the shooting at the War Memorial happened in October, I didn't write too much about it. It's not that I don't care - I sure as hell do care. But if i were to write about everything that gets me upset in life, I'd never stop updating. I'd never smile again, because there is SO much out there that gets me depressed. So I share the more 'lighthearted' things that make me sad, or upset. It's easier to get over the fact I'll no longer be able to buy Beaver Canoe than it is to share with everyone that I cry every time I walk by the War Memorial.
