I just bought the bracelets while on vacation in Virginia Beach. We went for a national dance competition and because I am a senior, this is my last national dance competition with my studio.
My dance studio is like my family and one girl in particular, Gabby, is like my sister. We share so many laughs and vent about the many ups and downs about our lives. She claims that I always put a smile on her face even throughout the tough times. With me going away to college next year, I will not be able to be around as much. I plan to give her one of these bracelets so whenever she feels upset and looks down, she'll find the bracelet on her wrist. It'll remind her to keep a positive attitude, even when I can't be around all the time. I will tell her that everytime she looks down at this bracelet, she must smile, even in the most difficult of times.
The other bracelet will go to my boyfriend, Ryan. He and I both know that when I go away to college, it will be the most difficult obstacle for both of us. We wish to spend the rest of our lives together, even though we will be very frequently apart the next four to six years. Even though I will not be around as much, I will give this bracelet to him in hopes that each time he looks down, he thinks of me, and smiles.
I always like to keep a positive attitude no matter what the situation. Separation can be difficult and upsetting, but I know that spreading the positivity that I would bring by giving away these bracelets, it will keep the smiles on their faces. I even plan on purchasing more bracelets to spread more happiness. This is a wonderful idea.
