For me a ring means Hope.
There is no other symbol as beautiful as a circle. Life itself is said to be a wonderful miracle. This golden ring I carry on my right finger. It fills me with beautiful memories from the day I decided to become a professional singer.
I was twelve years old. I actually prefer jewelleries made in gold. As I was reading a few lines in Jane Austen's famous "Northanger Abbey" I caught myself smiling.
For the young heroine Catherine Morland reminded me of how I used to be when I had just turned sixteen. I thought I had experienced my first true love, my first real boyfriend and I must say that he was very keen. How wrong I was then to think of him in that way. I did not understand the meaning of it then no not until last May.
All love stories portrayed in Austen classic novels always have a happy ending and "Northanger Abbey" is no exception. Mr. Tilney and Ms. Morland declare their passionate love for each other and their strong affection. I wish life and love itself could be less complicated in reality. All there is today is nothing but pure vanity.
I hold my golden ring in my hand knowing that it will always mean a great deal to me throughout all time. Hopefully one day I will wear another ring on my left finger, it will be the day when two become one. This I promise you, whoever my heart chooses I know deep down my heart that I will never leave his side. ♥

I haven't read Nothanger Abbey, but I did give the book to my friend, who also happens to love Jane Austen, on her birthday.
Thank you for the very flattering and uplifing comment, I genuinely smiled when I read it. It's words like that that keep you going through the hard times.
Know that I'm praying with you tonight.
Diana: What an excellent birthday present! I am sure that she loved it - I know I would! :)
My dear there are no needs for you to thank me for the comment I left on your post.
True friends can see these sort of things when the other person might be sad or perhaps just having a bad day? Just like you said, "It's words like that keep you going through hard times." What I am trying to say is that any true friend could have said so to you.
"Because that's what true friends are for" - to support one another at times when it is needed.
I feel honoured to call you my friend, for this is true in today's world we live in, it is not easy to find such a caring friend like you. Thank you for being you!
I know that any friend would have told me that, but you managed to tell me just when I needed it most (I think that's a song, haha). I really, truly and genuinely appreciate everything you've been for me, and I feel honoured to call you my friend.
Ther'e something about your laughter and your smile that spreads joy. And I'm being comletely honest! Even if I did not know you, I would see the same thing. You're an amazing person, with the world at your feet and the most wonderful hands holding you before it (your family).
Enjoy life, enjoy everything and every day, but don't forget to breathe and smile at what you love.
