time for a cry...

got into a huge fight today with my dad, over the ring that has found a permanant home upon the middle finger of my left hand. he doesnt like my wearing it.. because it's a symbol of something that he doesnt approve of. but that's exactly why i still wear it. it's a symbol. and while i claim that i can force myself to deal with reality, the symbolism is harder to let go of. obviously, im not at all ready to let go yet.
