The zipper

Today wasn’t the best day for me. A lot of things went wrong.

I bought this jacket at H&M for 35 dollars right before Thanksgiving break. It worked wonderfully and it was the best deal I found for a nice, black winter jacket. Out of nowhere, the jacket’s zipper stopped working. I frequently try zipping it but it always gets stuck or breaks in the middle somewhere. It’s been about a month since I’ve realized that it’s broken. Still, sometimes, on days like today… when it’s really cold, and really snowy…. I’ll think that by some chance the jacket will pull through for me.

Today, I went to zip my jacket up again… and it didn’t work. I guess something’s you can’t fix no matter how much you hope you can. The only way things get fixed is if you make the effort to get it fixed; things don’t really fix themselves over time.

And here I thought zippers always held it together.
