See that ring? That’s mine. At least in theory. But now it is at an auction house, waiting to be sold for a ridiculously low price. Are diminishing jewellery values a sign of the value of what they represent?
Such grand gestures seem to have become so-so when symbols so valuable (not just financially) are given without the same personal embodiment. I wanted the personal but got the ring.
My separation from the ring is my final gesture of letting go… It feels like the day I received it. Confusing, anxious, tense, unknown, sad. Part of me hopes it will come back. That that will in some way be my sign that all is not finished. Part of me wants my memories to vanish with it.
I find myself looking for him. I don’t know what I would do if I did see him. Cry? Explode? Keep moving. Blah!
The Wrong Side of 30 
UPDATE – It is sold, I have a new rug that I love and have saved the rest to help with finishing my garden 🙂 Happy!
