Before we start, this isn’t about losing games – none of the sports I play are currently in season. This is about the objects I’ve lost. But first, a story…
For my 15th birthday, my parents got me this silver butterfly necklace with purple gems. That’s the story by the way, have we put two and two together? Yes? Great, cause I lost the necklace. I was rushing out of the house one morning so I put the necklace in my pocket so I could put it on when I got in the car. Of course, I had a nose bleed not long after we pulled out of the driveway and I forgot about the necklace in my pocket. The nose bleed, being unexpected, resulted in me getting blood on my pants. Thankfully, my dad was home, so he was able to bring me a pair to change into. I put the bloody pants in my locker, and went back to class. Fast forward to around 5pm. I’m at rehearsal (this all happened the Monday of tech week for Mean Girls) and I realize I don’t have my necklace. However, I couldn’t leave rehearsal, and the gates to get to my locker were probably closed. So I brush it off and tell myself that the necklace is in those pants, and everything will be fine. Everything was in fact not fine. I’d lost my necklace. In school. It’s a pretty necklace. It’s an expensive necklace. It’s been about 3 weeks since I lost it. I doubt I’m getting this necklace back.
On the bright side, I’m able to not stress about the necklace so much anymore. Why, you ask? I lost my phone too. I lost my phone on the 29th of November. I lost my phone at school as well. And of course, I still don’t have it. I think I’m taking it pretty well though (she said as her eye was twitching and her hair was falling out). I’m more upset about having lost the stuff that was in the back of my phone case. It was a clear case, and inside I had a playing card I got last year in latin, a Totoro sticker on top of said card, and an extra gum wrapper heart. I loved the stuff in my case, I loved my phone too. I also lost everything I had in my notes app, and I’m devastated. I lost all of my poetry, and all of my play worldbuilding and prewriting. I lost my college research, and my IA and EE brainstorming. I lost my TBR, my book rants, and the list of books I’ve read over the years. This is quite devastating, I know. Wish me luck!!
