Woman Stunned To Find Handmade Gift She Gave Ex-Boyfriend 10 Years Ago For Sale At Goodwill

Woman Stunned To Find Handmade Gift She Gave Ex-Boyfriend 10 Years Ago For Sale At Goodwill

Most of us have been cringey overly dramatic teenagers in love.

Most of us have gushed way too hard over someone we met 2 weeks ago in math class.


Most of us have had the universe be merciful and our teenaged poetry and love letters vanish into the ether with time.

... and then there's Kaylee Powell.

On a shopping trip to her local Goodwill she was caught completely off guard when she found herself staring at a familiar piece of art.

There on the shelf, mixed in among wall sconces and statuettes, was a stained glass bunny portrait she knew very well - because she had made it as a gift for a boy she briefly dated ten years ago.

After the initial shock wore off, she flipped the piece over to see that it had been changed slightly since she made it.

She remembered writing a sappy letter to the boy on the back of the piece, but it has since been painted over with pink paint so she couldn't re-read it.

It was so long ago and she only dated the boy for a few months, so it didn't exactly get committed to long term memory. No offense, that guy.

She could leave the piece, enjoy the weird bit of serendipity of the moment, and continue her day...

Or she could buy it.

Would she spend five dollars to take the piece home, see if she could get the paint off, and read whatever teen-Kaylee wrote to this boy that adult-Kaylee can barely even remember?

Absolutely.

Would it actually work, revealing the "novel" that teenage "romantic ass Kaylee wrote to her stupid high school boyfriend"?

Absolutely.

Is it the most cringey thing adult-Kaylee has ever read?

Absolutely not. This is 2022. Have you read the headlines?

Adult-Kaylee has read way worse.

But this is one of those harmless and hilarious kinds of cringe, so it's providing a little palette cleanser for TikTok.

Grab your popcorn, folks. Teenaged-Kaylee had a lot of big feelings and adult-Kaylee wants us to laugh with her about them.


High school Kaylee clearly breezed her way through creative writing classes.

The letter was brimming with drama, calling this boy things like "my beacon of salvation" and "the stars in my sky."

Adult-Kaylee let viewers know their relationship was incredibly brief; making the letter even funnier and more over-the-top.

Ahh, high school love. It's almost as intense as the love TikTok has for Kaylee and this clip.

TikTok gets it.

Kaylee bared her teenage soul for the world - would you have been that brave?

Were you this dramatic, too?

Tell us your cringey teen "love" stories in the comments.

We've all been head over heels for a "beacon of salvation" that would've made gagging noises if we asked him to pass us a pad or something. We're all a little bit Kaylee, aren't we?

They hate the relationship so much, they're counting down the days until Kelce retires, just so they hopefully don't have to see Swift in the stands anymore. Talk about conditional love!
