I purchased a “Breathe” key necklace years ago and held onto it when I really needed it for these past few years. After this heck of a year called 2020, I knew it was my time to pay it forward and give it to someone else who I know has had an extra rough go of life this year. I decided to gift it to my best friend, just as a reminder to breathe, clear your mind, reminisce on what you’ve accomplished, or to focus on what’s truly important at this moment.
As I’ve held into this necklace, it’s helped me to realize that yes, sometimes the things one person thinks are simple, like breathing, can actually be exhausting for others. Literally and figuratively. It’s helped me appreciate every moment. Thank you :)
