What Happened?

Dear Christian…

I hate it here.  It smells.   I have been forgotten.  What happened to my life?

I mostly used to hang out with close friends and pretty often, I went places.
I saw big buildings and listened to music. Sometimes, I even danced. That was fun. I loved to go out. Every day was a new adventure. Now, I am stuck here with these…well…let’s say, less thans.  I have really hit rock bottom.

To be honest, I really don’t know what happened.  I was the life of the party.  I am cute. After all, I am super shiny and I have a red sole.  Well, some of the red is faded now. Guess that happens to everyone.  But why did it have to happen to me?  What did I do wrong?  Oh sure, my bottom is a little worn down and my sole is a little weary.

Yes, to be frank…I really don’t want to say it out loud… but my color is a little faded too. It’s true, I am not as shiny as I was when I was young, but I still have some sparkle left.  I am useful to someone.

Now all I do is sit around.  Sometimes kids show up and I get some entertainment.  But then I wish they’d leave.  They always have something sticky on them and I don’t want them to get it on me.

I see people staring at me all the time.  I don’t really like the look of most of them.  I want to get out…but I am not that desperate.  Where do they find these people?

Why did she leave me behind? Did I offend her? Maybe….do I smell?  I thought we had a good thing going.  I did my part.  I was always raring to go and really….I made her look good.  Kind of selfless of me…come to think of it.  Well…I did like to show off too.

I am making the best of it, but I would like to get out again.  I need to feel like I have a purpose.  If you know of anyone who is looking for a slightly used, but still valuable…well you get it.  You know me.

Here comes someone…have to go now.

I’m back and I have Great News.  Someone came for me yesterday. They took me to this place and I never felt better.  I feel like new! I am shiny again!  They propped up my bottom and gave me a new sole.

And she takes me out everywhere. We are like peas in the pod. Who knew life could be this good again.  I will check in with you later…we are going dancing.  I can’t wait.

All my love, Mary Jane
