Is it just me, or was anyone else obsessed with having some sort of accessory as an âamuletâ or âtalismanâ? Especially back in the day of physical shifters and âshifting talismansâ, to âhelp with shiftingâ. I desperately wanted a necklace with a wolf tooth or something of the sort and to never take it off. Now Iâve got several like those and never wear them, lol.
it wasn't a necklace but i had a small fake plastic yellow "diamond" that i always carried with me and i believed it could make me transform into a cat during recess. I also had this glass blue egg shaped thing that I would hold at night cause I thought it would protect me from the evil creatures in the dark and the scary thoughts in my brain.
as an undiagnosed autistic pup I couldn't stand wearing jewelry so I guess I adapted those kind of ideas to lil objects instead lol I miss having little weird knickknacks
this unlocked a memory of collecting pebbles/rocks as a hatchling. i had one the size of my thumb that was shaped almost exactly like an egg, it was my absolute favourite and i carried it everywhere. i had a little cushion for it and everything, and believed it would eventually hatch into a little dinosaur. unfortunately i lost it and could never find a similar looking rock :[
