Wearing My Heart on My Wrist

I find these bands that have been the fad for a while really interesting. I find them cool, because they enable you to literally wear your heart on your wrist.

I think I'm partially fascinated by this concept because I'm generally a quiet person, someone who doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve. In fact, I tend to wear my heart somewhere way down deep inside where it's hard to find. And though I can't help that, sometimes it bothers me. It bothers me that though my beliefs are well-thought-out and I am proud of them, I don't always share them.

So, I think it's really cool to be able to wear a bracelet that expresses exactly what you believe. It's a way of saying you're proud of something - that you believe strongly in something - without having to say it, and I think that's pretty cool.

FYI, at the moment, my left wrist is dedicated to pro-Israel (but as soon as my sister gives me the newest one, anti-Disengagement) bracelets. It's what I believe.

Of course, this theory on how cool these bracelets are was slightly harmed when I saw one that said "ThinkThin" on my sister's wrist. I guess all things can be used for good or evil...
