Made this little pocket altar earlier this year and take it with me in all of my bags as a good luck charm. In it are little charms passed down throughout my family, a locket with pics of my parents in it, a ballerina from a bracelet my great grandma gave me at my first dance recital (when I was 3), and a mini Polaroid of my cutie gf 🥹💖💫

There are countless others...

* Fortune card
* Virgin Mary that belonged to my grandmother
* Weird capless acorn I keep in the pocket of my princess coat (where I come from acorns are pretty uncommon so I was very excited when I found it years and years ago and it’s stayed in that pocket ever since, even after moving across the country)
* A skipping stone
* Baby Benny tag
* Leather turquoise and copper bracelet I got in Austin when I was 19 on that one trip

I’m almost always wearing jewelry that’s meaningful, whether it was a gift from someone or something i bought that reminds me of someone. I also think you can add meaning to things by making them important, like my favorite ring, which I bought just because I love it but now feels like a part of my self because I wear it so much.
In my car, I have a few charms on my mirror:
-evil eye from Turkey, where my mom lived for a few years when she was a kid
-silver kokopelli charm that has my grandmothers initials and says “her car” on it 🥹
-silver colored sea creature bouquet on a keychain that my little brother gave me when he was small
-beaded rainbow octopus from a trip to California to visit family
Also a big fan of collecting good rocks on trips and sometimes I’ll carry one of them in my pocket.

Okay, first thing is first: yes this shit is INSANE and very very scary, but I assure you what you have seen and heard on the news is a lot worse than what it actually feels like to be here right now. I, too, am terrified. But if there is one thing I know, it’s that community and general radicalism in the U.S. is far more powerful than any political movement or what the media reflects to the rest of the world. From what I have experienced, most decent Americans with half a brain cell are sick of this shit and are incredibly unhappy with the election results. We are also super suspicious of this happening again after what we know about it happening the first time??? So you are not alone. We too feel all that you are feeling and are here to make sure you are kept lifted up and safe.
NOW: what state are you going to uni in? I’m sure we can group together and help you find close and safe resources for all you could possibly need as a woman in these dark times. Some states are harder than others, but hope and possibility are still very very present! And the majority of states still offer and will continue to offer a plethora of resources(particularly and especially in the north east!)!
