Wesley Crusberg- My Topos which was a Chora

I started working at a restaurant called Cheddars around August 2005. I never knew the place exsisted until I recieved the job. It never was anything to me for the first year and a half because it was just a job. Sure it payed the rent and got me the books and things I wanted in life but money i smoney, an object is an object. This job never could find or make things I wanted most in life. Love is something I think people take advantage of. It is something that I long for and is something I have never had with someone other than family I already have. Cheddars was always a topos to me becasue it was just another restaurant until I met her. Seh was everythin I thought was right and nothing I thought was bad. She made me smile and she made me laugh and ti was everything I wanted. Cheddars was no longer a topos. it was now something that ment something to me and it was now a place that was special. the topos I opnce knew was know a chora. I did not realize such things until I read the passage about topos ane chora within the text Landscapes of the Sacred. She was everything until things went sour and we went our seperate ways. Cheddars is still a Chora to me because it still has that value of almost, and just maybe. Overall I look back and thank the experiance.
