Ok, now think. 1..2..3… Go!

Alright, so once you come up with a few I would like to ask from writer to reader, if you thought of any of the brands I thought of when asking myself the same question.

 I thought Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Special K, Pops, Raisin Bran, and then I just imagined the whole cereal isle at the grocery store. Well I start off with this tactic of speaking to communicate that I am eating Lucky Charms as a little bed time snack. Anyways, not to sound cliché, but who is your lucky charm? How does your significant other, pet, best friend, or family member make you feel? Hopefully you are happy, or overall content, a majority of the time for at least one of the listed groups of people. Some people like to call their spouse their soul-mate, or destined lover. Then again, sometimes it is just used as a phrase to show appreciation of one specific person, “He/She is my lucky charm.” You know what I am saying? Like, yes it is apparent to most people that being alone is not always the best, forever, while living- so you socialize, make friends at school, work, clubs, or organizations. Bonding occurs when two people have a common connection to relate to with one another. Some people are truly okay with being alone, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have ‘lucky charms’, because they can be items, ideas, memories, or places. 

To me, for someone to be your ‘lucky charm’, they must bring out the best in you, and support you. In return the same actions should be displayed, to create a connection unique from other friends and acquaintances.  It could even come down to the simple terms of, ‘Who do you love most?’, and then that may be a possibility of that one’s lucky charm. Thinking in different terms, somebody’s lucky charm might not even be a person, it could potentially be a computer, specific type of clothing, or an accessory. It could be an item for an acquired hobby, or activity. And then to preform a full circle, it could even be something as simple as a bowl of cereal being a ‘lucky charm’ to starting one’s day off right, or ending it on a good note.

Symbolism is so significant when choosing the charm that you want to use to express and represent you. Context, a story, an admiration of some sorts- your lucky charm gives meaning and purpose to not only it/them, but to you- the one choosing it/them to be apart of you and your life. Inversely, the same goes for the item, person, idea, memory, group, atmosphere, or place.

The End.
