), I cant help feeling a little emo about its demise.

I wore it to the ground; it disintegrated after about a month.

One day, I wanted to grab an item that was far out of reach.

I was amazed by the prop that instantly made every item in the store reachable.

The return time at the family meet-up spot, Cheesecake Factory, came and went.

I slid into the booth an hour later, my white jeggings in the acid yellow F21 shopping bag.

You could say I was of the timesand also ahead of them.

But rest in peace to Forever 21, whose crinkling neon yellow bags I can almost still hear.
