After the breakup, I thought I was done with my ex’s drama. But one evening, I received a package from his new girlfriend. Inside were some of my things he’d “forgotten” to return—my hoodie and, strangely, a jar with a lock of my hair. At first, I was confused, then horrified.
But that wasn’t all. Along with the items, there was a note from her saying she’d made a few “improvements” to my things. When I opened the package fully, I saw that she had decorated each jar of hair with rhinestones, making them look like some sort of bizarre trophies.
At first, I couldn’t stop laughing at how absurd it all was. But then it hit me—this was some weird, passive-aggressive power play. I was tempted to text her back, but instead, I just blocked both her and my ex. I still have those jars, though. They’re just too weirdly funny to get rid of.
