Below are different things and aspects in my life that I consider my, "lucky charms," and give me, "a sense of confidence and security."

My heart pendant necklace...

First is my silver heart pendant necklace. My boyfriend gave it to me last Valentine's Day and since then I've rarely taken it off. It's nice, yet subtle, not gaudy. I where it partly for those reasons and partly because it reminds me of who gave it to me. I tend to have this cycle for charms.

At almost the age of 3 (turning 3 November 1st) he is teaching me at the age of 21 new things everyday. He is the one person that knows just how to tug on my heart strings and press and my buttons. The way he views the world and society through his sweet, innocent, naive eyes is amazing. He reassures me just when I think there is only pessimism and hatred in the world just how wonderful life really is. I honestly never knew it was possible to be so attached to someone els.

Being on the lake...

The lake for me is pure serinity. When I'm on the lake I feel as though I'm in a far away place, not simply
