RE: happy birthday (soon)

My birthday came and went. It felt like another day this year, a feeling I haven't had for a birthday in quite a while. I started my birthday losing a bracelet that I've owned throughout several relationships, address changes, job shifts, and even with feet planted in international postal codes. Obsidian--volcanic glass thought to protect against negative energy (it also just looked cool, which is why I got it). I bought the bracelet during a strange, transitional period, and it was a constant I could look to in spite of treacherous waters. The seemingly frail rubber bands were unwavering. This was grounding when I needed it most. The bracelet became a signature accessory, and then it was gone seemingly overnight. I did go out the night before, had some brews and laughs, went home, then slept in. I still don't know what could've happened between that night and the morning after. I joked to one friend that it was because someone was plotting my downfall. Maybe so... it wasn't exactly…
