Broken Snowglobes

I imagine that if you broke a snowglobe it would be tragic as the water would slowly seep out, eventually leaving it as an empty and less worthful object. It would probably then be thrown out or tossed in a box under the stairs to collect dust and to be forgotten for a very long time. And yes, I do think things in boxes can accumulate dust. Dust is sneaky like that.

I feel like tears are often the same as the water in snowglobes. They fall haphazardly and without warning sometimes, or maybe because there was too much pressure built up, or because of an incident. Regardless, once they all fall out they leave you feeling less than full, and mostly empty. It is a feeling of loss and confusion and often misunderstanding of what happened.

Snowglobes should be handled with care, and so should tears.
