Objects– Do They Really Mean All That Much?
Jan 24, 2011
Growing up, I never really understood the value of trophies or plaques. I mean yeah, sure they signified something but I didn’t ever really believed that anyone needed these objects to signify their greatness. It’s just something that’s inside you and you sure as hell don’t need a trophy or a plaque that says so. But if I’m honestly I feel that way about any object which is why when Robby asked me to marry him I didn’t want a ring and if I’m honest, still don’t.
I think it’s a stupid old fashioned tradition. I don’t need a ring to symbolize my love and commitment to the man I married. I know it, it’s there with me every day and a ring isn’t going to change that or add value to it. Do I have a ring? Well, yes but not because I wanted it but because he wanted it and so I gave in.
I’m not saying my ring isn’t important to me. It is because it’s important to him but at the end of the day, I don’t need it to signify the dept of our love. I just look at him and he looks at me and I know. We know. And honestly that’s all I’ll ever really need.

Growing up, I craved those ribbons, trophies & plaques. I wanted something to symbolize my sport and how good I could be at it. Now, those plaques and trophies just take up unnecessary space. A picture of them would do nicely, just to remind myself of exactly what I achieved back then.
I’m pretty much the opposite of you when it comes to the rings. I’m a sucker for traditions like engagement rings & wedding bands, even in their simplest forms. I used to look at my rings and smile when I couldn’t look at Devin. It reminded me of our togetherness and love when I didn’t have him there with me.
