Our personas convince us that there is nothing that we don't know about ourselves -- that we are in fact the person we see in the mirror and believe ourselves to be. But the issue with this is that once we have bought into the story of 'this is who I am,' we shut the door on any other possibility and deny ourselves access to all of who we can be. We lose our ability to choose, because we can't do anything outside the confines of the character we're playing. The predictable persona we've constructed is now in control. We become blind to the immense possibilities for our life."

Heart Necklace

Here's some advice for the single folks: If a girl is wearing a heart shaped necklace, it was given to her by a guy and she is either with that person or isn't over whoever gave it to her.

Try it out yourself. Tell your friend or some stranger that you like her necklace. Then ask if her boyfriend/husband gave it to her. So far, every time I've tried this it's been yes. Which makes sense because I don't see why any girl would buy herself a heart shaped necklace. It's even been true for me.

For a variety of reasons, even though I knew things weren't going to work out with my Ex, we lived together for a few months and still pretended that things were okay. Except I wasn't terribly good at pretending. I wore my heart shaped necklace for a little while and then I stopped wearing it altogether. One day he asked me why I don't wear it anymore and I told him it didn't mean what it used to, and it made me sad to wear it. When he gave it to me he told me it was so I would know I'd always have a piece of his heart with me. Which I doubt still applies. However my mother always told me to never put it in writing and always keep the jewellery. So if I ever come upon hard times I plan on pawning it for cash.

So there's your lesson for today, if you're trying to pick up stay away from the heart necklaces.
