Every piece I wear has some sort of sentimental story backed behind it (my bracelets/rings/necklaces/some of my earrings). For me, wearing sentimental jewelry serves 3 purposes:
1) Bringing life to pieces that have been given to me with love
2) Carrying my loved ones wherever I go
3) Prevented me from making impulsive jewelry purchases (because fast fashion jewelry doesn't feel the same way a gift does)
Ig the only exceptions I make in fast fashion jewelry is earrings, but only bc I need boring earrings for corporate-wear lol

I'm personally a very sentimental person, so, every so often I take a good look at my jewelry. You see, I am composed of everything that people have gifted me. From necklaces I have gifted myself, to rings my parents have bought me, to bracelets my ex has made me. Nonetheless, I like to remember each and every memory attached to these pieces of jewelry, they remind me of who I once was, how much I have grown. Here's to new beginnings, old endings-- and everything in between.

I have two small, stackable silver rings with children’s names engraved on them. I got the first one right after I returned to work with my first. It was really hard leaving him, so I got it as a comfort for myself. Naturally, I got one when my second was born as well.
I didn’t realize how attached I was until I briefly lost them at work. I never take them off, but I did to help a kid and they fell out of my pocket. I was panicked even though they’re replaceable. They’re the only jewelry I wear 24/7 (aside from my daith). My wedding ring set is really important to me, duh, but my husband took a silversmithing class through the park district to make it and it’s just so perfectly me.
I also have a gift for finding 4 leaf clovers, so I keep those around. At this point I always have rocks and/or crystals on me. It’s fun grabbing a jacket or bag I haven’t used and finding what I’ve stashed 😂

It shows a long life and the many smiles you've given and experienced!! It's a permanent remembrance of happiness and I think that's beautiful!!

My steps:
1. Shut my phone down, hide it in my room, and lock the door so it's a pain in the ass to get to.
2. Be bored, and sit in the boredom for like 7-10 minutes (MINIMUM)-- once you're bored see what your brain gravitates to beyond The Screen (is it doodling? is it playing guitar? is it writing?)
3. Find the little thing your brain latches on to, and start doing it! Even if it's something goofy like "Just Dance youtube videos" to dance to LOL this is you, deliberately following your brain's natural curiosity & interest
And then rinse and repeat however you like <3 Once you get accustomed to the smaller, more gratifying feel good activities, social media starts to feel too overwhelming to even pick back up again-- you'll be reaching for it less and less
(a final aside: I am of the major belief that creativity & imagination is critical to creating a better reality to live in, because it shows that you're capable of leaning into what "doesn't exist", and are courageous enough to imagine and build a reality that defies the status quo. but that's just me LOL)
