My love for stones

Mi Corazon la Joya Presciosa

My love for stones runs real deep, I love things that shine and glitter. Anything that flickers. Really rocks my socks. Oh yeah, that pun was hella intended.

Gems, Stones, Jewels, Pearls it's all part of the culture. From brothers that rock the gold chains with the gold wristwatches, and the grills making their smile and teeth all shiny like Chip Skylark. To sisters wearing the dazzling rings ,earrings and beautiful necklaces looking like the garnish on top of a delicious looking meal, they wear them proudly like celebrities and walk with a stride so elegant it makes you feel the power in each vibe they bring with every step.

I personally like Birthstones there's something mysterious about how they relate to a person and can really bring about their attributes that's honestly nice. Such class, such diligence they bring about things so subtle but it's enough to compliment you and make people look twice.

If you think about it gemstones are some of the most absolutely gorgeous yet absolutely strangest things within our galaxy, it's no wonder people are infatuated by them. Myself included, I'm definitely no exception to the rule.

But let's change it up a little bit because the most priceless gem you'll probably ever encounter in your lifetime, is right under your nose, it's another person. That's right I'm talking about other people, precisely loved ones, you know the saying "you don't know what you have until it's gone" or even the reason you "cherish" someone it's crazy right. Just, think about it, even if it's a lover, a sibling, a mother or father, grand-parents or even a close family member these people are the true gems in your life. Especially, parents the obvious I consider those cornerstones it's no wonder people fight so hard to give their parents a better life. Yet parents also do the same to give their children a better life. I'm aware that's not the case for many of us but to those who have a strong bond with their parents you already know.

You might think I'm talking nonsense, but to those of you who have lost or are on the verge of losing a family member, or a friend. You of all people understand and know just how much of a treasure a person actually is, and the impact that person has on your life, of course I'm talking about people you want to keep close, and keep you close in return the ones that actually fight for you just as much as you do for them those are the gems I'm talking about.

Complete treasure chests of joy, laughter, memories, sadness, disputes, reconciliations, touch, kisses, embrace these things are so precious even Diamonds get jealous. It's a tragic, because unlike real gems these ones aren't forever so from time to time. Grab your close ones by the hand be vulnerable with them look them in the eyes softly and tell them you love them life's not a joke. In fact life itself, this entire planet. Is a gem it's and so it's inhabitants should also be the same.

I want to share that passion for people with you all because In all honesty like yourselves I just write my thoughts down, they come from the deepest caves of my heart to try and connect people together like the huge puzzle pieces we are, but, no matter the things we choose to do, the best thing you can do for yourself is remember that you too are a gem as bright and as shiny as the next. Your glow unique in it's own signature. Simply knowing that difference and using it to your advantage could turn your gem into the bright star it was meant to be. I wish someone had told me.

Everything you are is also everything everyone that loves you know you can be and more and for the various reasons you deserve to have that love. Cherish cherish cherish it! like no tomorrow because that might actually be the case for you or someone close to you. We all perish.

Although life goes on and things get more difficult and harder for you and trust me those you care about know it all too well, just know the importance of the gems that surround you and rain down on you with showers of pure love. That stuff is rare these days as society keeps advancing towards a very black and white bleak and meek future. Things are advancing fast, times are changing, and nothing last forever. But, you as the beautiful gem you are, if you want to identify with your birthstone or be a unique creation of your own, you can make impressions now on this Opal Oceans filled, Emerald forest covered, Sapphire skies and Topaz Deserts and Planet we are on. While you're still alive and glowing. Keep shining

and you better not forget it. Go tell your precious gems you love them after this read. I promise you'll feel much better.
