So I have a dilemma.....
From my past relationship I have some jewelry left that I like but at the same time makes me feel strange.
I don't think the pieces that I did't wear often bother me, it is just the pieces I absolutely love that I would wear daily that have a certain sting to them.
My favorite white gold cross n diamond necklace and my heart ring....i love them.....i wore these on a daily basis. Even after the break up I wore my jewelry on a daily basis. To me it didn't signify anything more than jewelry he had given me and that I loved.
But after a while, it just started to bother me a little...thinking, "What does he think it means when we hang out and he sees I'm still wearing his jewelry?" Does he think I'm not over our relationship? Or I can't let go of him? Or does he simply just think the same way I do?
I thought it and then quickly just brushed it off thinking, who cares what he thinks. But like a splinter, that thought just kept popping into my head and stung a little more each time I thought it. Finally it pricked me enough and I had to take the splinter out; I took off my necklace and ring.
It just felt like every day that I wore that jewelry he owned a little piece of me. Like I was part of him. I don't know where this crazy thought came into my head or why I thought this. Especially since before it did not bother me.
And come to realize now, that he didn't even notice that I had taken the jewelry off. So I thought to myself, well now that I know it does not matter to him then I can go back to wearing my jewelry comfortably. But as I was in my room staring at my jewelry contemplating whether to put it back on or not....I just couldn't. Nor did I want to. Had I fallen out of love with my jewelry?
So now I don't know what to do? Do I pawn it and get other "replacement" jewelry? But I do like the pieces I have. They're just so cute. Do I just occassionally wear it? Or do I just give it more time? Do I just wait and see what happens?
Which leads me to think....what do other girls do with the jewelry from past relationahips????
