The most memorable sadness was at a Christmas party. My best friend from John Hersey high
school in Arlington Heights, IL invited me with a bunch of friends. We were all going to bring
presents for secret Santa. I went to target that day and bought a coffee machine. It was about
$56. I arrived at the party with my present wearing jeans and a flannel jacket. I entered and I
was so happy to see everyone, and everyone was happy to see me. We were spending time
together and eating some great Greek food that we all got. We played games like Jenga, uno
and my favorite was the VR game. After all that it was time to do the secret Santa. Everyone
went and it was my turn to pick a present. I picked a present and it was 90% wrapping paper
and all there was was a $10 iTunes gift card. Keep in mind that we were all supposed to bring
$50 over plus gifts. I was sad but I did not mind so we continued opening the presents and then
we went home. During my car ride home, I received a text message from my girlfriend that we
were breaking up and no reason at all. So, I gave her a call and I saw her with her ex and they
were back together. I was super devastated and started crying because I am a very emotional
person. I was in a lot of pain, so I did not want to home so I was just driving around the
neighborhood. I did not know what to do, so I stopped crying and returned home. The rest of
the story is very emotional for me to share so I'll stop it right here.
