As time dragged on I started to add a trait that I identify with to each of them, but I decided that each bandanna can only have five traits and I made them this way because my hands are tools that play a major role in everything I do, especially my writing, and each of them only have five digits. !ey act as a constant reminder to just be myself, but also to not be afraid to change, as I didn’t just start o possessing every trait that I currently have. At the beginning, I had none, and it was only as time passed and I continued to grow that I began to acquire more. !ese bandannas have gone from being knick knacks that I obtained because of their appearance, to tokens that act as tangible representations of some of the traits I have. And as time goes on and I acquire more traits, I’ll also acquire more bandannas that will stick with me wherever I go.
