My alarm woke me up as usual, then I went through my phone and found a message. I opened the message and guess what it was. A break up text from my girlfriend telling me about how our relationship was not working and so on. I completely lost it and didn’t know what to do, I couldn’t even reply.

I bathed anxiously for about four hours and couldn’t even eat breakfast. I looked at the time and it was 10:15am and I was supposed to be at work by 8:30am. I panicked and ran out to catch the taxi. While I was waiting for the taxi, I searched myself and realised that I forgot my wallet. I ran back home to fetch it. I was finally in a taxi, heading to work then I was like let me call work to tell them that I will be late and guess what? I forgot my phone at home.

Then while I was still thinking about that break up text, the taxi passed through my destination and I wasn’t even aware. I realised way too late, I got off at the wrong destination, one hour away from my work place and I walked since there were no taxis going there. I arrived at work by lunchtime and my colleague, who is also my friend, saw me getting in and said, “Hey, what are you doing here on your off day?”

Tell us: Do you relate to the author’s day? Have you ever had a day when everything was not going well?
