I am not a fond of jewelry or any expensive stuff or even flashy accessories. I only have one necklace which is given to me by my mom, a gold hip hop chains with a cross pendant with it. It has been been given to her by her dad on her eighteenth birthday and she in return gave it to me on my eighteenth. I have been wearing it ever since but I always kept it under my shirt or dress, or if I am wearing an open neckline dress or something revealing, I would still bring the necklace with me but I will put it in my purse. It is like a security blanket to me and I would feel very uncomfortable if I do not have that cross pendant necklace nearby.
For instance during one night during my internship in the hospital, which I was training to be an emergency room nurse, I felt so uneasy and jittery all the time. It seemed that night that I have drank a lot of coffee and felt so jumpy that when I am at our quarters to try a few minutes of sleep, i would easily be awakened by even the slightest of movements. And I was not so comfortable with what I have been doing as our standard operating procedure when an emergency patient arrives.
It seemed that I might forget something or miss a protocol that I should be doing. It was one hell of a night. As i was recalling the next day when I got home everything that has transpired during my last shift, I just kept my fingers crossed and hope that everything went well and I did not missed anything crucial. And while I was on my dresser after a hot shower while combingy hair, I just realized that I forgot to bring along my security blanket, my hip hop chain with a cross pendant.
