The Experience of a Victim

My bag was snatched a week ago.
Inside were loose change, lip gloss, my contacts' lubricant, and my cellphone.
All I could think of was "Holy Shit! I don't have a list of the phone numbers!!!"
Funny, I know, and not the typical reaction you'll expect from someone who's valuables were snatched right under her nose.
But at the back of my head, I remember that I was actually thinking for some time to change my phone number and get me a new phone.
The only reason why I never had done it was 1) my number has been with me since college and 2) I already have a phone, no matter how simple it was.

I really didn't feel that huge gaping hole when you lose your possessions.
I thought about it further and I realized, I didn't lose the MORE important stuff. My IDs, credit cards, payroll ATM card, recepits, and wallet (yes, the wallet is very important).
Well, yeah, the cellphone is important, but I figured, getting a new number is a symbol of me putting there the really important people in my life. My family, close friends, and office mates. Most of the numbers on my old number weren't really contacting me and I have no reason to contact them.

So am fine and I hope those bastards who took my bag love blood red lip gloss.
