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 😂

I have to disagree with the people who say that we need to “stay” and “fight“ for IG to be a better platform because in actuality, it’s our presence and engagement that gives them data, and therefore money. As long as they have those 2 things, they make their bottom line and won’t really care about its users desires unless they’re making a move for the optics.
If we REALLY want to hold them accountable, we need to impact the money they make, which means permanently deleting or marking your account as inactive & never coming back. They’ll only care if they’re bleeding money— so make them bleed.
