Prompt: Write about a keepsake.

I'll actually write about a few different ones.

I work with my boyfriend, which probably sounds like a terrible idea, I know. But we leave each other little notes at work. Being cashiers, we get our own registers that are supplied with pens and a stash of paper. When the other one isn't around, we'll write a cute little note and put it on their register for later. It's just a way we try to make the other's work day a little brighter. We also write sticky notes  that have our inside jokes on them. I've kept all of the notes he has written me. I actually brought that up to him and found out he has kept every one I've written him as well. Both when we were just best friends and now. I read them on bad days to help cheer me up.

I have a necklace that my best friend of many years had gotten me for a Christmas gift. It's absolutely beautiful. I got mad at her when I opened the jewelry box to discover it. We agreed that we could by each other gifts, but they had to be within a certain price range. I knew this necklace cost more than what she was allowed to spend on me. It's my absolute favorite piece of jewelry, but with that being said, I hardly ever wear it. This probably sounds a little strange. I just worry that I'm going to end up losing it if I wear it out often. I would be devastated if I lost the little necklace. It means a lot to me.

Earlier I mentioned how I like keeping little notes, I'm the same way with pictures. I tend to forget a lot of important moments in my life, or I can't remember a lot of details about a person from my past. I'm fond of taking pictures of important people and memorable moments. It's nice to be able to look back at them and remember everything.
