i met with a friend last night with whom i've basically fallen out of touch. i read her blog, and comment occasionally, but for the most part we're in separate worlds. except that in the past few months our lives have taken some sudden turns and dumped us on very similar and surprising paths.
we shared burritos last night (well, she had nachos) and couldn't believe how similarly it's all shaken out. there was a lot of solace in hearing her stories of shame and excitement and confusion and fear. cause they're a lot like mine and how freakin weird man.
i also couldn't help noticing the beautiful gems we were both wearing on our left ring fingers (hers looked like emeralds, mine is mostly opal). i don't know if it was a fashion coincidence or a conscious choice on each of our parts to separate ourselves from the 'single' mob, and i didn't have the heart to ask. it was day one for me, too experimental to discuss.
i'm wearing it again today, and it's beautiful. i've been waiting for the time when i could wear it and feel right. thanks, grandma.
(ps i looked online for a representative picture because i don't have one of this particular ring just yet. they all pale so i won't taint your vision with a fake. <3)
