One Piece Of Jewellery

-

Have you ever had a piece of jewellery that was a huge part of your identity? You wore it so often that it became an irreplaceable part of you. (Yes, there could be more than one accessory.) There was some deep significance as to why you wore it. Maybe it was a gift from someone you loved. Maybe it was something that you and a friend both wore together. Maybe it was something that reminded you of an unforgettable incident in your life. Maybe it was something that made you stronger. 

If someone gifts you that piece of jewellery, it can bring you comfort. By that, I mean that you crossed their mind for a moment. As soon as they saw it, they thought of you. It means that they care enough about you to get you that article - no matter how small it might be. The pleasure that you attain when you receive it doesn't disappear over time. It just grows every time you wear it. It feels like you have a part of your special person with you all the time. 

The main point is that that piece of jewellery is part of who you are. People knew that you always wore that piece. If you didn't wear it, it meant that something was wrong. What if you no longer want to wear it though? Obviously, you would have put a lot of thought into committing to wear it. Why would you want to stop all of a sudden? 

The only reason could be that the article no longer means anything to you. Or, even worse, it might make you feel sad. If a relationship ended, you wouldn't want to wear something that was a symbol of what you once had. For a while, you are going to feel like something huge is missing. You unconsciously feel like the place it is supposed to be is empty (For example, you unconsciously rub your collarbone to feel your favourite pendant.) 

It doesn't matter what it is or how expensive it is. All that matters is what it represents and how it makes you feel.

    I have something valuable like this but it's just a cheap steel ring. I've worn it whenever I go out and I've had it for almost 6 years now. It's basically a part of me now.

Remember that you are a Woman

  Yes, I am one of those girls who spends most of her time with guys. That doesn’t mean I don’t need to remember the fact that I am a woman. Until recently, I thought I would be totally fine with spending all my time with a group of boys. At one point, I found myself deprived of all the things that made me a woman. I didn’t feel respected as a woman. Even though I had a group of male friends around me, I felt an extreme need for female companionship. There are just some things you need another girl for, right? I needed a girl to gossip to. I needed to moan and whine and just talk about the guys in my life. It might sound shallow, but I think it is one of the basic needs of a woman. When I was reading “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus” by John Gray, I noticed how he claimed that women need to be listened to to be validated. That obviously means having someone to talk to. What better place to go to than another woman who makes you feel validated. The world needs more women w...

A Tribute to My Seniors

  Before I start, I’d like to say that this is a very personal post, dedicated to a few very special individuals.  Anderlin, Sharan, Shane, and Mugunthan.  Technically they are my seniors, but they have become something more. These guys are the reason I made it through the year and have become irreplaceable brother figures to me. I may not call them ‘Anna,’ but the respect they earned from me is immeasurable. I still remember the first time I saw them. I was at an ethnic walk practice. It was only my second day there and I wasn’t very confident yet.  The four of them weren’t around on the first day of practice.  That’s when they arrived. They appeared, walking in a straight line. They looked so majestic and powerful that they scared me. They came to stand in front of me and I remember chills running down my spine. None of them were laughing at the moment (you’re not allowed to laugh or smile during an ethnic walk.) I was so intimidated by them. There aren’t wo...

Just Say "I Loved You The Way That You Were."

This is another lyric from The Tortured Poet's Department The Anthology. It's from the song "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus." The lyrics that I want to talk about read "If you wanna break my cold, cold heart just say, 'I loved you the way that you were.'"  These lines touched me. I feel like Taylor is telling us that her lover didn't like the way that she changed. She says that telling her that he loved the way that she was in the past is basically telling her that he doesn't love how she is now. I mean, she could have had her reasons for changing. She has the eyes of the world on her and wouldn't do things without thinking things through.  Yes. People change. If someone can't stick around to learn why, did they even love you to begin with? (I'm not commenting on Taylor's relationships here. I'm speaking in general.) I think that people have to be given the benefit of the doubt here. If some part of their character has c...
