Hello? Is this Lost and Found? Oh, good. Listen, you’re the fourth place I’ve called, so I really hope you can help me. I’ve lost my youthful idealism.
What’s that? Well, I had it not too long ago, but now I can’t find it anywhere.
Uh-huh, uh-huh. Um, I don’t know, purple? I really didn’t look at it much, you know? I was just happy that it was there, so I never really took the time to inspect it. Bu then I woke up one morning and realized it was gone, and I don’t know where I left it.
Oh, I don’t know. It’s probably been a few years. I realize your box of ‘found’ stuff may not go back into the archives that far, but I thought it’d be worth a try.
Describe it? Let’s see… It was one of those ‘I can change the world if I only try hard enough’ versions that came out towards the end of the 20th century. Before the ‘ME! ME! ME!’ version was released. I used to use it a lot - back when I thought I’d be one of the big people, before I realized that I was one of the little people, with only a blog and a dream. I wanted to be one of those that could make a difference and leave my mark on the world, you know?
What? Oh, well, once I realized it wasn’t getting me anywhere, I quit using it. And you know how it goes: use it or lose it, right? You probably get that a lot, working at a ‘Lost and Found.’ Although, given, it’s a bit easier to misplace a pair of mittens, I suppose.
No luck, huh? Well, thanks for looking. What did you say your name was again? Alice? Well, Alice, you’ve been most helpful. Say, while you were poking around in there, you didn’t find a set of marbles, did you? No? Oh, well. Thanks again.
