So my mom and I have been working the same waitress job for 5-6 years now. She had been waitressing years before, but this is recently. Anyway, about… 15 minutes ago this guy she waited on left and told her to take care. Just that. Prior to this she had talked to him about Italy. Her people are from Florence, this and that, and she said she’s never been. She’s got 8 years of art education and she’s working a waitress job. It’s pretty… Sad and disappointing, I guess. Her and my father divorced 6 years ago and she hasn’t had a real job ever. Just been stuck in a small town she’s not from.
This man who we have never seen before tipped her 1000 dollars for a trip to Italy. Walked out, not another word.
…you know. Just when I start to lose faith in humanity….Hm.

You know, when you have kids and you love them and you’re proud of them you just want to kiss them on the mouth sometimes.

“Meet the real life mermaid who swims with jellyfish and can hold her breath under water for up to five minutes
Linden Wolbert travels the world as a full time professional mermaid and uses her custom-made 6ft tail to propel her through the water.
The 32-year-old freediver and model can swim to depths of 115ft and uses her skills to promote ocean conservation and education.
Linden, from Los Angeles, California, said: ‘I grew up as a water baby. My parents are both competitive swimmers.
‘I always looked forward to going to the ocean for our summer vacation. I had a magnetism to the water.
‘I’ve kind of always been a freediver but didn’t realise the sport existed until ten years ago. Shortly thereafter, I when began training.
‘Free diving is 70 per cent psychological. You have to be very calm and at ease in the water.’”
