No this blog isn't about some item of clothing that i couldn't return and how angry it's made me...

But instead about the returning of items after a relationship in what i like to call the 'DROP OFF'

Similar to a refund: someone had goods that they wanted and then later decided they didn't want/need anymore...

or even if it was given as a gift, it's just as though it didn't fit so they're returning it...

Although it seems as though it'd be a simple task to return something, there is more to it than meets the eye:

Don't want to return it straight away incase you decide to change your mind again.

Don't want to return it straight away incase you were wrong about your decision.

Won't be going near the shops again anytime soon after the hassle from last time.

Won't be going near that person again anytime soon after the last blow up.

The shops are miles away from my place and there's no reason to travel out that far.

Their house is miles away from my place and there's no reason to travel out that far.

And this all continues.. until the point where it's pretty much the same feeling for both...

After I return it, I feel lost and empty, like I've got to fill the void by getting a new better one.

It took so long to plan to return it, to remember to bring it in my car.

... and ah crap I forgot something else now, grrrrr...

So yes, can you tell i've been getting/giving the 'drop off' lately??

There is so much prep that goes into it... when do we meet? where do we meet? what do we say? what do we do? do we hug? do we kiss? what are we? are we friends? do you hate me? do you love me?

We should just leave it... return to it later, when it won't be so awkward. 

Weeks later: Sooo here's your stuff...

 thanks... 

*awkward hug*

well bye... 

yeah cya... 

have a nice life...

you too...

Psalms 139: 13-16

You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because you are to be feared; all you do is strange and wonderful. I know it with all my heart. When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother's womb, when I was growing there in secret, you knew that I was there - you saw me before I was born. 

God Bless
