OKAY. SO LET'S FACE IT. MY YEAR HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY NUTS! AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO INTO ALL OF THAT. LET'S DEAL WITH THE TOPIC AT HAND. LETS SAY SOMEONE GIVES YOU A GIFT, YOU REALLY DON'T WANT THE GIFT BUT THEY GIVE IT TO YOU ANYWAY. HOW DO YOU HANDLE THIS? I LOOK AT THE GIFT AS BEING A BLACK ROSE. AND WHAT IF YOU RECEIVE THE GIFT AND YOU THINK IT CAME FROM ONE FRIEND BUT YOU FIND OUT THAT IT CAME FROM AN OLD FRIEND THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO ASSOCIATE WITH ANYMORE. YOU SEE, GIVING THE GIFT BACK IS NOT AN OPTION, BUT LOOKING AT IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IS NOW SOMETHING YOU WILL HAVE TO DO. I WANT TO HIDE THE GIFT. I WANT THE GIFT TO GO AWAY. I WANT TO CRY AT THE THOUGHT OF THE GIFT HAVING EVER BEEN ACCEPTED.
BUT THE SKY IS STILL BLUE AND THE FALL BREEZE IS STILL BEAUTIFUL AND WARM. MAYBE IT'LL BE OKAY TO JUST REMEMBER THE MEANING BEHIND THE GIFT AND LEARN FROM OUR PAST MISTAKES.

Lessons learned, my favorite topic. Hang in there--maybe the clerk was wrong, and that wasn't your gift afterall. :)
LET'S HOPE SO. YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD FRIEND. THANK YOU!
