I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for the miles of cotton, denim and fabric you throw together on mismatched hangers in beautiful, colorful randomness.

Thank you for providing me with nearly 1/3 of my awesome t-shirt collection, including 3 of my 5 favorites.

Thank you for the obscene amount of money you’ve saved me over the years, even if much of that money went to extra laundry detergent I used to wash what you gifted me several times over to get out the hobo smell.

Thank you for that janitor’s jacket I wore last Halloween. …Really? A janitor’s jacket? You actually sold me that for $2.99? Amazing.

Thank you for the countless Halloweens before that, for those ridiculous pants, those cheap sunglasses, those awful Christmas sweaters, that woman’s blouse.

Thank you for singlehandedly helping me have the best outfit at my Fraternity’s annual “What the fuck are you wearing?” Mixer 4 years in a row. No one had any clue what the fuck I was wearing.

Thank you for making my skin feel tingling and strange after trying on dozens of other people’s old, unwanted shirts and jeans. A shower the second I got home was all that was needed.

Thank you for existing, Goodwill. You’re a true part of my life.

I love you.

Jake
