I wake to a rush of anxiety pishing against my chest like an ocean wave. Thoughts of fear slam into my mind. I sigh silently in frustration, placing my hand over my heart where a very special gift rests close to me. A smooth faced rock dangling from a string slowly shredding at the ends. A cross carved in the center of one side.

When ever i touch the cross i am reminded tyat no mattsr how tough things get. No matter how lonely and lost i feel i am never truly alone.

This necklace though plain and simple, has got me through so much since i got it. I am greatful for it and for message it holds within.
