Shine
Untitled 6 months ago

I received a necklace as a Christmas gift in 2007 from my friend Josh with this word on it. It has two pieces, a silver bottom piece, just a small circle with “SHINE” written on it and then a second piece lays over top, it’s gold with a star cut out of it. Any picture of me from this Christmas to now is bound to have this necklace in it. I rarely take it off and it has become a mantra for me. A reminder that it is not my place in this world to back down in order for others to feel better than I. I was put here to do good things and to be the absolute best that I can be. I like having a constant reminder of this from a very important person. This person has always seen the good in me even when I wasn’t able to see it myself.

You phrased it perfectly :)

“A reminder that it is not my place in this world to back down in order for others to feel better than I. I was put here to do good things and to be the absolute best that I can be.”

Something that can be difficult for each of us to remember at times, and a very important continuous life lesson.

:) Thank you so much for that. I think I needed to hear something like that right about now and that was definitely the kind of reminder I needed. Thank you so much!
