and pretend all you want but i know

A big hug and kiss for Mom. Thank you for buying that penguin plush thingy.

I'm not a very huge fan of keychains and stuff like that. Anymore. Ever since....

My heart was practically ripped into pieces when I lost my whole pencilbox of pens and my favourite stuff. Even my birthday present. I mean, presents. I admit I cried buckets at home and felt like killing the accused ones. The ones that last saw it. I was very desperate and practically interviewed half the school. Even the teachers on duty. I ran around the school like a maniac but never did find it because someone must have taken it home already. It was full of my loved stuff. I never ever took anything expensive or whatever anymore. No presents. No keychains. No full pencilboxes. No expensive pencilboxes. I checked my bag everytime before going back. I took a box to school as my pencilbox after what happened. Everyone thought I was crazy or something but I didn't care at all. I took out the stuff I didn't need. It was a big lesson I learned. I'm still recovering after years. I hated that year very much. I use a normal plain pencilbox now and I don't carry too much stuff.

I guess I wasn't that lucky. Other people's stuff disappeared but they found it eventually. I always tell them they're lucky that they got back their stuff. I know what you're thinking. What a sore loser. No, I really mean it. It was partly my fault because I left it on someone else's table. Should've never gone there. Oh, well.

So, yeah. Now I don't like keychains and cute stuff like that anymore. I mean, I like it but I can't bring myself to repeat something like that again. I'm considering about hanging my penguin on my bag. I don't think I will in the end. I know that sounds stupid. I know it sounds emo. But whatever phobia this is, it has affected me deeply. I learned a few lessons though. I still love it very much.

Still, I love the stuff you buy for me, Mom. And... I would like to thank you for supporting and comforting me through that. I hope you don't mind that it happened a few years ago but my appreciation is here! XOXO!
