Please let me know if anyone does find and return it! I’d very much like to know how it all turns out. Trash bins have a funny way of pulling important items towards them when they shouldn’t be thrown away. Before I graduated, I had been studying for an exam and accidentally threw my notes away with my napkins – it couldn’t hurt to ask if anyone saw a notebook in a bin when they were taking the trash out at the end of the night or something. Of course, that makes sense, and I’m really glad that you didn’t leave your bag with you. Could you imagine if you had left that to save your spot and that went missing? It’s a good thing it was just the notebook, not that your things missing at all is anything to celebrate. But it’s good that it wasn’t worse than it is.
The gardens are probably my favorite part of the castle grounds, they’re usually much quieter than the rest of the grounds so it’s perfect when you’re looking for something a little more secluded. You know, a change in scenery sounds perfect actually. I might have to take your advice and do just that, thank you. And I can’t recall the last time I went for a walk on the beach? Do you go to the beach often?
I’ll keep you updated! So far, I’ve yet to hear anything but hopefully that’ll change very soon! And oh my goodness, that’s absolutely horrible! How did you end up doing on the exam, if you don’t mind my asking? I can only hope that if I’d left my bag, that would’ve been harder to either throw away or pick up on accident, but yes, I’m celebrating that as a small miracle. Not that there really was much in my bag, if I’m being honest. It’s not as if I have a laptop, and while I do have a phone, those are highly replaceable.
You’re very welcome! I hope you find someplace absolutely wonderful that gives you peace of mind and a break from it all. And no, not really; I went to the beach not long after I came to Auradon for the first time though and that’s something I think about all of the time. There was just something so beautiful about it, you know? The ocean looked so dark and foreboding and dirty when looking at it from the Isle, but from Auradonian beaches, it’s the opposite; it’s vast and sparkling and dreamy and inviting and sometimes when times get stressful, I just close my eyes and imagine that view again and I’m fine again.
