Tomorrow is my birthday, I will be 26 years old. As I reflect on the last year I am overcome with emotion. I have been so blessed in my life through the opportunities that pass my way and most importantly the amazing people in my life.
Friday Jason, my talented boyfriend gave me this beautiful ring. SIlver threads twist and mesh creating the abstract sparkle upon my finger. It reminds me of so many different things; a wing, a wave, a leaf but no matter the day it represents the love and support we share. Pulling out the little brown box tided with a simple blue cord he said 'I want you to have this, not only the ring but the promise that I will love you for the rest of my life. You're mine and I will never let you go.'
Yesterday Sahar, my soul sister took me shoe shopping. No matter the occasion, the weather or whatever kind of mood we are in it is always a ritual to be enjoyed and cherished. Falling in love and starting a new romance every time, feeling the full potential of my beauty and strength as I slip on a pair that fit just right. The love of the day yesterday was a pair of simple black wedges. A bit more modest then what i normally go for, but not plain by any means. The opening reflects the curve and point of my new ring and the slight conflict of the polished finish verse the unfinished edges. A direct reflection of my personality the responsible grown up and the kid inside.
As I go into my 26th year of life I proudly wear my ring and shoes given to me by two of the most important people in my life. All the armor I need to take on the fierce city that is New York.
