This is the unraveling of a twenty-something year old woman. I broke. I cried. I laughed. I hurt myself and others. I grew a backbone. I did many things and had many things happen to me. This story; well, it's the healing of it all. Enjoy.

Material things
I have this weird thing about me. I don't get attached to material things, I'm not sure when that started but it's been that way for as long as I can remember. I am careful not to lose or damage my things but as far as getting attached, I simply don't do it, unless it's my Macbook PRO. I will shed blood over this computer. However, I always look at people's wedding bands. Though I know that there's more significance than it just being an inanimate object but I always wonder, will I ever wear a wedding band, not because I'm scared I won't get married but because I don't even wear rings. More importantly, if my spouse passed, God forbid, would I still wear it? Despite my distaste for attachment to material things, I'm still a sentimental person. I still have movie tickets saved and I make creative gifts that are very unique to the person they're intended for. I just wonder if love will make an inanimate object like a gold wedding band more important than any other tangible item I've ever come across. Hope so.

Personally, I never got attached to the wedding band. I'm don't really wear rings either, so...
For me, it's merely one of those things almost all people do. Like brides wearing a white dress and a veil. Or the figurines on the wedding cake.
I guess I'm the same, I don't care much for material things, but if something happens to my computer...there will be blood. lol
