What's on my wrist?

Over the last few months, my left wrist has slowly been accumulating a collection of jewelry and I thought i'd just decode through a few of my favourite ones i always seem to be wearing and their sentiment to me.

Left to RIght

The two left ones I bought in Thailand while I was holidaying there with a really dear friend earlier this year. I spent half an hour bartering with the shopkeeper about the birght purple coloured one, as I found his price ridiculous and he was trying to justify to me that the leather was a better quality than any others I was likely to find and it was real silver at the fastenings (i call bullsh*t). I ended up getting him down to a good price and bought two. One broke before the trip had even ended. Which just goes to show i guess... The other one was a funny story. A woman on one of the main street corners was weaving these up as we walked past. She had hundreds of them laid out on a table, some with names or names of countries and some others that were relatively rude. One of them caught my eye and made me almost faint with laughter: F*ck you Long Time <3. So i ended up buying that one and this for about the equivalent of $1 each. I usually wear this one for obvious reasons... I keep them to wear often anyway and take care of them both best i can, It's nice to have something to remember the trip

Then next is my very first luxury watch, which I can barely ever take off I love so much. Patek Philippe! The absolute overlord of the watch world, it's such a beautiful addition to any man's watch collection, I feel so so lucky to have gotten one this early in my life! It takes my breath away! Honestly someone will have to remove my hand if theyre trying to take it off, i'm just that protective of it.

And finally is my bead bracelet that I was given last December, on Collins Street of all places. It was actually from a Buddhist monk, and he gave to me in exchange for a donation to help construction of schools in Tibet. It was quite lovely hearing him talk about their projects and hopes for the future, and so i keep the bracelet close to me. It's a nice reminder if ever I let stress of panic or a bad mood take over my demeanour to strive to be a good soul and prioritise accordingly. On the other hand, it's also works if i have self doubt, reminding me that I'm a good person.

I always find it interesting wearing such varying items, ranging from the pricey to the absolute bargains to the gifts, they're all jam-packed with sentiment though and spark special memories, i like to think they're little insights into my personality that i carry around with me. :)
