Posy Rings
With the rise of courtly love in the late medieval period came a range of different tokens to demonstrate such love. Jewellery was a popular choice - as it still is now!
Posy rings are a ring for the finger, sometimes plain, sometimes with a jewel, that contains a phrase of devotion or love as an inscription. These were sometimes in Latin, but most often in French, which was considered the language of courtly love, and was pretty widely spoken in the upper classes.


(Left: pense de moy - “think of me” c. 1400-50)
(Right: de tout mon coer - “with all my heart” c. 1400)
Love inscriptions were often repeated, indicating there were “stock phrases” for jewellers to use.
ANYWAY so I was explaining this to my boyfriend bc I enjoy infodumping (you may have noticed), and he promptly decided to kill me by going “oh like the one ring from Lord of the Rings 😁”.
Like, sure I GUESS

The problem i think is that mental health advice is never universal because everyone has different things they need to work on. if you've been raised to believe that you're responsible for other people's feelings all the time, then saying "you don't owe anyone anything" is an important first step toward learning to set boundaries. but if you haven't been in that very specific situation, then the same thing can be used to justify your inclination to be selfish and treat other people like crap. you know what I'm saying?

A spoon's only objective in life is to make soup go upwards, and it knows this. That's why when you put one under a running tap it blasts the water way high. The spoon thinks there's suddenly TONS of soup to deal with and it freaks out.
