My old future

I was walking through my hometown market the other day and looking at all the things they sell there. All kinds of food, but also toys, dresses, rope, lamp oil. A little bit of everything, but mostly things for "town people", really cheap stuff.

When I was younger I'd walk through there and think, "I'll be like the adults buying here someday, and buy some of that, and some of that..." 

I'll never buy any of that. I have to thank God and my parents, my "economic class" is way better than them at my age. This market is an old vision of my future, something that was probably going to happen but never really happened.
