Watches

I'm not a huge jewelry person, I never really have been. There are few things that I wear daily. One of them is a watch. I don't actually wear it because I like the watch (although I do like to know what time it is).

I wear the watch because the person who gave it to me is someone that stands for all sorts of things that I don't want to be. And so the watch serves as a constant reminder. Both a reminder of the past, and of what to avoid in the future.

And all the time that I am writing this, I realize that it's quite a strange thing to do. To purposefully remind myself at least a hundred times a day of something that is somewhat painful. But, at least for now, the reminder serves me more than the pain.
