Heirlooms
Today, is a day i remember forever, this day, 11 years ago, i was given one of the most precious things i have, as a heirloom, and i keep it with me wherever i go, and i shall pass this to whoever follows after me, with much pride and honor
This is a Japanese Tanto, it's mean for self defense, specially for woman, it was given to me when i turned 13, i learned to use it and sadly have not taken care of it the way it's supposed to be taken care of, so it's starting to rot away
This is not an expensive Tanto, it probably not worth more than 200/300 dollars top, but it's the value of it as an emotional gift, the meaning of it. It was a 'training' Tanto, meant for me to learn it and take care of it, nothing more. And that's what matters really. it was given to me so that it would help me find a path in life, to become strong and be aware and self sufficient, and fearless
Sometimes, the things we get from our parents/older generations speak so much about who we are..
What is your heirloom? Please share if you would like, i would love to hear all about it
