All-Night Mini-Mart (2025)

The trouble began the summer I started working at the All-Night Mini-Mart. During the longest part of the night I would take to watching myself on the video surveillance cameras located at the end of the store. Often, I would find the camera-me doing things the human-me wouldn’t approve of. Some mornings after I worked late, money or lottery tickets would be missing and I would have to replace them myself before anyone noticed. Never more than a few bucks a week but still… It added up. I knew it was the camera-me because when I went home at the end of my shift I never had any extra money around, and I really could have used it. The summer I started working at the All-Night Mini-Mart was the same summer I started collecting crystals. The first of my collection, a rose quartz, was given to me by a customer one night after seeing I had a cut on my hand (but only the camera-me.) After that I began spending a lot of money on crystals, and storage for my crystals. Sometimes when I was especially low on money I would end up finding them anyways, on my way to work at the All-Night Mini-Mart, or the woods behind the High School where I walk my dog. Once in my garage next to the freezer, but that was only once. I didn’t see the customer again, except sometimes on the surveillance cameras. I would see him wandering through the aisles or looking through celebrity gossip magazines and eating hot dogs. When he spoke to the camera-me he leaned in close and hid his eyes. I had never seen the customer outside of the All-Night-Mini-Mart, and I recognized him on the surveillance camera only by his stingray-skin cowboy boots. I don’t think I had ever seen his face, even on the night he gave me the rose quartz.

You Reserve the Right to Evolve

Dear Younger Me,

Brace yourself.

One day, you're going to change your mind about something you once defended with your whole chest. When that day comes, you're going to think the sky will fall. Trust me, it won't.

Right now, you believe changing your mind is a sign of weakness. You think once you say something out loud, you must defend it forever. You think that if you switch lanes, people will whisper.

Well...I say let them. You are not a contract. You are allowed to change your mind, and you will have many chances to practice that.

You will choose a career and later realise it no longer fits the woman you are becoming. You will hold opinions tightly and then life will laugh softly and prove you wrong. You will commit to certain dreams, and later dream bigger ones. You will pour into friendships and later accept that not everyone is meant to stay.

Each time this shift happens, it will shake you. But growth is uncomfortable and it stretches you beyond who you used to be. You will outgrow people, places, and versions of yourself - that's just part of life. You are not a sellout, nor a hypocrite. You are growing.

Adulthood is not about planting your flag and guarding it for life. It's about having the courage to move it when wisdom demands it. And I wish I could tattoo this next nugget on your forehead so you never forget: your life is not a public performance, you do not owe the world a permanent position statement. You owe yourself alignment.

So change your mind. Change it when your peace depends on it. Do not hold yourself hostage to a contract you never signed.

You are allowed to evolve.

With love,

Your older, softer, still-learning self
