Wristbands

Are wristbands still cool? Who cares, I received two as a gift last night, thank you very much! Isn't it nice to receive a gift for no reason? And don't you feel kind of awful for not buying a gift in return? But non-to worry, it makes me all the more grateful for the friends I have in my life. 

I like the sentiment in the wristbands, they read, courage - strength - hope - faith, it is a good way to live a life - to have those elements within and never lose them. I try to live my life with such ideals but sometimes I struggle, that's why they were bought for me, they are a reminder to keep strong during such times; and a reminder that I am never alone. Such sentiments are grounding, fundamental and so very kind; I'm sure they will help me.

As you can see one is white and one is pink - I was advised the pink one is for safe places and the white one is for everyday; why can't a guy wear pink or profess to being gay in all places without fearing for his safety? I do not know but I understand the advice, kind of, so....

I wore the pink wristband to work today, to be honest I thought it would be hidden by my clothing - wrong! It was on show for all to see, but there were no negative comments and work is kind of a safe place to wear it, I think. 

Regardless of anything else I'm sure it will look just dandy teamed up with my new t-shirt, when it arrives. Oh my....
