What's up with that bracelet?

I keep a bracelet on my arm 24/7 if you haven't noticed. It's blue, purple and yellow. It's made out of a few pieces of string. It's falling apart, it's hangin' on by a thread, two to be exact. It's snapped twice and I continue to tie it back on. It may not look to nice, or look like anything special, but it means the world to me.


I've had this bracelet on since August 13th, 2010. It was made by the most wonderful girl in the world. I sat there on that friday Mexico morning, and watched Dulce tie the last knots in the bracelet as I thought about the wonderful week I had in San Luis. As she tied the bracelet onto my arm, I knew it wouldn't be coming off anytime soon. Even though it's falling apart, even though it's dirty, even though its been dipped into hot wax that I scraped off of it, I keep it on. I keep it on no matter what, it's a constant reminder that there's a place that feels like it's a world away. That there's an 11 year old girl that changed my life more than I can describe. It's a constant reminder of how I feel about San Luis, and the special place it holds in my heart. These few pieces of string mean the world to me! I don't care if on July 9th, the bracelet is holding on by one little thread, it will stay on my wrist until I get a knew one from my amiga <3
