I happen to own a lot of jewelry. It is not because I buy a lot of jewelry, but because my parents are divorced and my dad would buy me gifts to make up for the time that he never spent with me. I know that he tried, but he went through a very selfish stage where no one really mattered to him but himself. In fact, the first visit that he missed was the one that earned me my diamond stud earrings.

The funny thing about this is that I was only six years old at the time. Who, in their right mind, buys diamonds for a six years old? My mom, being the responsible adult, would of course, not allow me to wear the, which I am thankful for now because I know that I wouldn’t still have them if I had worn them back then. And plus, my boyfriend thinks it’s hot when I wear them.

Dad has bought me two JoJo watches and they are absolutely my favorite thing. He has grown out of his selfish phase and tends to make it around to his visitations a lot more than he used to. I don’t really hold it against him, because I know that he really tries and seriously does not know any better. He is being the best dad that he can be and I love him for that.
