Losing something is one of the worst and probably most hated feelings ever. Whether you are young or old misplacing a favorite toy, shoe or lets admit it tweezers and remotes.
Our household must have a secret black hole sucking and eating all the most important things to us. We have lost almost everything at least once. We've even forgotten where we put our phones - Leaving them on vibrate is the most unpleasant experience I had to endure whilst being at home. Hunting through the mess and the depths of my room was the worst. - So back on the subject of our household and it's own little black hole.
I've lost my headphones. I know, tragic. I listen to music mostly all day, everyday. Losing my most prized, bright pink, pro bud headphones is now the most horrific experience I am going through today. The depression of getting so emotionally attached to something and then having it snatched away from under your nose is just horrible and once again depressing.
Hunting high and low for my babies, I noticed something rather odd under my bed. Reaching to get this curious object I pulled out a small plastic duck. Yes, you read it right. A duck. This duck was not just a toy though. It was a duck that brought back quite a lot of memories. Mostly odd and pointless. This duck was from a Mcdonalds kiddies box. I think it's called a Happy Meal? Well, so this duck was called Rakkasox. - Inventive you see. No.. I won't go into a story about how the duck lost it's mother, blah, blah, blah.- This duck was pimped by me and one of my closest friends. We drew all over it stuck things onto it and stood it up to admire what invention we had created. This duck looked a lot like something related to Frankinstein, it could've even been it's pet for all you know. So, holding up this duck and examining all the odd and peculiar things attached to it, the memories came crashing back of the good ol' careless days of being young once again. Taking away the pain of losing my babies for about five minutes.
