Lucky Packet

Now I remember the days, and certainly not too long ago, where kids actually went to the store at least once a month, just so that they could purchase that all famous Lucky Packet...You remember? That shiny little packet with the fancy wrapping...And its not like there was anything extraordinary about it at all, it was simply a fad, but what kids really looked forward to, was the prize.

And once you bought one, you showed it of to everyone, and shook the packet trying to figure out what's inside. And I have discovered, that life, and people inside your life are a lot like that. They look interesting, they can even show off at times, and if you're really lucky, you can manage to get one all to yourself. And once you have, you can shake them about, and move them around, waiting to see what else comes out.

But today, I've discovered something totally different. Because I remember, that once you've discovered the prize inside a Lucky Packet, you would cherish it, show it off, stare at it, treasure it, make sure that everyone knew it was your one-of-a-kind, one-and-only prize! So no...I feel like the complete opposite...I have found, that sometimes, you can feel like the thing we all threw away...Yes, I feel like nothing more than the wrapping, of a once treasured Lucky Packet.
