METAL COMFORTS

I was never really a person who wore jewellery. I've always had it, just never remembered or could be bothered to put it on. Now however, I seem to have acquired a few pieces that I never take off.

I've worn the same ring for four years, just a simple silver band that sits on my middle finger of my right hand. I got it to wear to prom in 2013 and from that day it has never really come off. 

I have another ring that sits on my index finger of my left hand, this one I guess I've somewhat stolen. 

I wear the same necklace every day because I love it so much. It's a simple thin chain with a circle pendant that has my zodiac sign on it. I'm not a believer in the zodiac but the person who designed it modelled it after a necklace her dad passed down to her and I like that notion.

My last piece — and my favourite piece — is a bracelet. It's a very thing blue string with silver beads, the beads are different sizes and spell out a word in morse code. This again doesn't ever leave my vicinity , if it isn't on my wrist then its on my necklace as I can't wear bracelets at work.

I never thought I would find such comfort in a small amount of metal or string, but I do. Its like being able to carry around your comfort blanket wherever you go. I go in search of them no matter what my mood. I twist my rings around my fingers when I walk or have something to concentrate on. I hold the pendant of my necklace when I'm talking to people or am getting stressed. Its almost like they have become a part of me, just an extra limb to me now.

BOOKS READ TO DATE

I really enjoy reading, being able to imagine for yourself what someone else has written on paper is one of my favorite pass-times. I go into reading when the film 'The Hunger Games' came out in cinemas (around march of 2012) because as soon as I came out of the movie I wanted to know how the series continued. Luckily it was Easter break and I had a week off of school as I spent the ENTIRE week reading the trilogy of books! I didn't eat or sleep I only read the books. 

From this I was able to venture into other corners of my mind with other books. The tetralogy of books from Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl were my next few reads and fell in love with them - my only problem was that I read them in the order 2,1,4,3 so I couldn't really figure out the proper story line but it wasn't too complicated.
