I'm a sucker for ownership. NOT the 'beat yourself up' kinda ownership, but 'this is my part in the mix and what I coulda done different' kinda ownership. You know me, constantly looking for my part--cuz it's ME I can do something with. Notsomuch some other person.
for me it's of my stuff and I've learnt enough over the last decade or so (took a while for some of it to sink in, but I recognise the difference now! lol) not to be taking on other people's stuff as if it's any of my responsibility
similarly, when someone else tries to make me own their "stuff" (or attempts to "rescue"/"fix" me and "solve" my "problems" - YIKES!!!) I know full well where that suitcase of baggage is going (and it ain't in my locker!)
shot I was going to ask you to put those in a sentence. . . but I looked them up in a dictionary instead
you are one educated man
such big words! with such wonderful meanings!
I love "charms", especially the sort you attach to a little bracelet and wear on a wrist. . . in fact I have my childhood charm bracelet on my dressing table and over the years it has had some lovely charms added to it (had to take off a few of the slightly dogier ones from my yoof, but hey)
and sometimes, on VERY special occasions, I wear it. . .
now, if only on those special occasions I could achieve a state of pulchritude, I'd be one happy woman

yup - ownership

sad in a way, but hey
I've always fancied "phylactery" and "pulchritude".
