Photo is illustrative in nature. From open sources.

Was minebirthday . Nothing special. My favorite girlfriends came to visit, laughing endlessly and ready to have fun, dance and drink wine. That day I was in a very good mood, just right, festive. I, too, was not averse to having fun, feasting and having a good time. But everything was disgustingly ruined by one of my relatives, who arrived a little later thangirlfriends _ He came not alone, but with his common-law wife.

They took a long time to undress in the corridor, entered the hall, and smiled widely. A relative’s wife read me a beautiful congratulatory speech, then, with the words “you love this,” she joyfully handed me a not too new photo album with frayed ends, slightly yellowed and well scratched in places. I almost opened my mouth in amazement. What is it that I love? Old and shabby? As long as I have lived in this world, I have never been given something previously used and not entirely new. I can’t even express in words the emotions that were raging inside me!

I politely thanked for the gift and put this abomination away from test-antibiotic.com my eyes. She invited the newly arrived guests to sit at the table. Everything would be fine, drink, go and have fun, but the mood was irrevocably spoiled. Where's the fun in that? I was filled with a feeling of anger and anger mixed with hatred. I wantedreturn this album to them with the words: “Use your shabby album yourself. Take your old stuff!” But, of course, I didn’t do that because of my upbringing.

For three days I was tormented by the thought of this terrible gift. Against the background of my experiences, I even remember that my blood pressure rose. I discussed this, of course, with my friends. I always do this. They advised me not to be offended and to simply put this event out of my head. You shouldn't worry so much about any album. And you shouldn’t throw it away, everything will be useful on the farm. In the end, I did just that. This album still lies in my nightstand, never used. But over time, it stopped causing negative emotions in me. Just an album for photos and that's all.

This gift at one time made me understand whattest-antibiotic.com attitude towards me from the people who gave me this thing. I drew the appropriate conclusions and began to communicate less and less with them. And then she stopped altogether. This is how a seemingly ordinary thing can fatally affectrelationships between people.
