The One Who Gives Herself Second Chances

The One Who Gives Herself Second Chances

My life got flipped upside down in February when my boyfriend of five years unexpectedly broke up with me. I couldn’t figure out what I had done wrong. I tried so hard for him. He said he wanted to move in a different direction romantically. (What?) So I moved from Pennsylvania to California, started a new job, and left him behind.

For years with him and years before him I was always trying to please someone else. Now with the pandemic and being in a new environment I have decided to focus on myself, my health, my needs because at the end of the day there’s only me; I have to take care of myself because no one else will. So I bought myself a Self Love Pinky Ring and loved it and felt so great and... promptly lost it.

I was devastated, but in keeping with my new outlook, I gave myself a second chance and bought a new ring. No, not the most economically sound decision, but I needed it. Thank you so much for this magical line of jewelry.
