Long time ago, maybe 10 years ago I was on vacation on Malorca with my brother and parents and was sick for most part of it.
Last evening of the vacation I went out with them and I really liked this one pendant out of many similar looking ones that one man there was selling.
Didnât know what it was only that I really liked it. My parents bought it to me as a souvenir from Malorca and I wore it ever since as a necklace.
I had people asking what it was âcause some thought it looked cool and I always said that I donât know that I got it on Malorca.
Of course there were some times that I didnât wear it at all cause I was worried I would lose it but from the time I got it it was with me for most of the time around my neck.
About a month ago it broke while I was outside in the city I study in while promoting one event with a group I recently joined and hope to stay with them. We promoted an event for future college first years where they can meet other students, find out more about their college and the city, have a good time and so on.
I was really bummed as this pendant/necklace was with me for a long time and as I got to my dorms I started looking for it on the internet.
Luckily it had a logo written on itâs back that said "BICO" so it was easy to find. I found their page and found out itâs a company that has so many more necklaces. They all have their name meaning. As I was looking through them I really liked many designs and meanings and then I found mine. I found out itâs called âAegisâ. This Aegis should symbolize comfort of confidence. As I read it I stopped for a bit. I know this next part is gonna sound u bit stupid for everyone else but it has itâs meaning to me.
I realized that it could not broke on better time. I was always an introverted person who lacked confidence and was shy around people.
For a past half a year I tried to get out of my shell by various methods I tiried to meetnew people through apps, tried to talk to people more.
One of these methods was the group of people I mentioned before. We were promoting an event to future first years and for me it was the first time talking to so many strangers a day. It was truly a new experience for me. I met a lot of people although most of them just left after talking some stayed and talked to me more after we were done. One I met on one meeting app by some miracle and one I met in the city later one day of the promotion and somehow we become friends real quick. As I found the meaning I realized it probably broke because I donât need it anymore and I became comfortable and confident enough that the Aegis that symbolizes this quality is not needed. I know it sounds stupid but let me dream a bit!
Today I was browsing through the page because I am planning on buying a different one on my upcoming birthday with the meaning of which I want to achieve in the future and I thought I could write a nice story about the previous one and what it means to me.
Anyway I blabbed a lot for now and as a last thing I want to do is thank a few people that were important in this story of my necklace so first of all thanks to my parents and lil bro, the guy my parents bought the necklace from, some of my closest friends that were with me even when I thought I donât even deserve a friend, some strangers and acquaintance, people
from the group mentioned before called SeznamovĂĄk that helped me realize how much I have changed over the journey and last but not least to Bicoâ for making a pendant that interested me when I was a little stupid kid.
If you guys are interested in these necklaces here is a link to their official web page: https://bico.com.au/ (I am not sponsored 'cause why would be c'mon, I donât own any rights or anything, donât know how these things work but I think it should be ok to share a story of something and thank the company, if not I will have to delete this :/)
Well and few hashtags at the end 'cause duh: #family #necklace #friends #growth #broken #whole #story #seznamovak #biconecklace #future #goals
