Pretend

I've always wondered about birthday presents. What are you supposed to get someone that you're kind of close to but not really that close with? If you ask them what they want it feels like it defeats the purpose of a present. Of course the easy route to go in this case is to buy them a gift card so that they can buy whatever they want for themselves. However, I feel like getting people gift cards is another way of saying "Yo, happy birthday, (not like I care or anything) go buy some shi-"

But what's worse than gift cards are candles, journals, and picture frames. I've received so many of these useless things throughout my life I could probably start a forest fire in Yosemite. Of course I wouldn't because I don't want Smokey the bear all up in my business, but you know what I mean. Usually the people that give you candles etc. are the older folk that think that you really have the time to scribble in a journal to express your thoughts on a daily basis. Little do they know, writing is outdated.

Gift cards are an easy way of saying "I don't care" but candles, journals, and picture frames say "just go f- yourself." Think about this next time you're about to give someone a gift. (I'm kidding, gift cards are fine as long as you know what store they like)
