The Amber Bear Amulet 3500 years old. Slupsk, Poland.

It’s said the amulet brings happiness. Which makes sense, cos gummy bears bring happiness, and this looks like a gummy bear.

I'm Sorry...But it's Been a Rough Day

I have this compulsive urge to apologize, the number of times I say "I'm sorry" in a day is unnatural. I hate it but I can't stop, I even apologize when people tell me to "stop apologizing".

It's a weird twisted circle, but I'm hoping it's more like a round-about and there's an exit if I keep turning.
