The Curse of the Bracelet

Sounds like the title of a book. But it's not. It's a real life story! =O

No, seriously. I have this bracelet with really pretty beads, shaded olive green and this beautiful shade of pink and other colors, and a little star charm in the middle, that my grandma gave me for Christmas last year. I love it so much, and as soon as I got it I wanted to wear it everyday. But then, whenever I'd wear it, the day would not turn out that great. Back then I liked a boy, and I wore this bracelet a couple times on a day I was supposed to see him, and then he wouldn't turn up. Stuff like that sounds stupid I'm sure...but after a while I really felt like the bracelet was unlucky. And I've worn it very, very rarely since then.

Today, I decided I didn't care if it made my day unlucky, I'd wear it anyways. So I did. And I went out. And for a while it seemed like things would not go well. But I'm a strong girl, so I took a deep breath and prepared to go on with my life and just get through today, it wouldn't matter in the long run anyways.

And so I was incredibly surprised when things suddenly changed for the better. So surprised I didn't know how to meet these new circumstances. I didn't feel ready. But I evolved, did what I had to, and had quite a good day because of it.

I think I broke the curse. I think it wasn't ever really a curse--I just made it into one to find some reason why the day didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. But this day turned out alright. Finally.

I'll wear it again next time to make sure.
