spoon ring: found.

I had written this awhile ago about a spoon ring i lost. I just found it this summer. It was in an old jar of candy. As in, I lost it because it slid of my finger, while I was reaching into said candy jar. I’m not sure that’s the “awesome story” I thought I would get from refinding it…

I had this really lovely spoon ring.
I just bought it over spring break. But within three days it was already missing. I am pretty sure I lost it for real.

It is frustrating, so I keep making up scenarios as to why this had to happen. Why it is meant to be.

I can only conclude that,

a) You shouldn’t have more than one spoon ring at a time. Having more than one spoon ring is selfish and might make the other spoon ring jealous.

b) Someone else found the spoon ring who really needed it. Maybe it made their day.

c) I will find it again someday. Maybe I will meet the person who found it. Or find the ring three years from now in a street or in my closet. And it will mean so much more. And it will have this awesome story behind it.

d) Survival of the fittest. The ring didn’t fit well enough. It was going to happen sooner or later. At least I didn’t get attached to it this time.
