This bracelet was a present from a friend.
She bought it in Venice and gave a one to each of the girls
in our friendship group, so that we all had matching bracelets. The remind me
of all the girls I used to be friends with, indeed all the people I used to
know, as we received them in the summer we left school. The remind me of all my
teachers, my old sixth form, my best friends and those I hardly knew. The make
me think of all the trips and meals and nights out we took that summer, vowing
not to lose contact even as we went our separate ways to universities up and
down the country. It’s a bracelet with a lot of memories and a lot of
symbolism. I can’t imagine how I’d feel if I lost this one.
