A victorian locket made with braided human hair and seed pearls, a photograph of someone's pet bunny I found in an old abandoned manor, a small unlabelled vial of perfume whose origins remain a mystery to me, dried four leaf clovers in my opaque phone case that nobody knows are there except me, small piece of unidentified shiny mineral that i mined as a child by smashing rocks with a hammer until said piece was unearthed...
There are countless others...

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.

you can hear me coming from miles away
i have many more but my bags can only handle so much (currently using 20something charms, they usually weight more than the contents inside the bag lol)
i love collecting charms— the obsession began with anna faris’ character from “the hot chick”! she has a bunch of charms and i, verbatim, said “my dream when i grow up is to have a keychain like that one”
a bunch of years later go by and here i am buying more and more :P

i grew up in a house in the middle of absolutely nowhere and my mother's bathroom windows and walls were all glass block and i think it's so beautiful and fun and nostalgic. doesn't it also look so tasty and nice to chew on?
