Buttons http://isitnormal.com/story/18689/ PS, if it was a different button that was stolen, would you still have cried' If no, then I would say it's normal to cry over that pearl one. http://isitnormal.com/story/18689/#comment-192870 2007-11-11 13:42:26 Are you sure it has been stolen' Have another look through the jar. Why would somebody steal a button from you' http://isitnormal.com/story/18689/#comment-192773 2007-11-11 11:55:40 It's not the objects themselves, it's what they represent to you. Perhaps these objects remind you of someone you know/knew, or a place where you felt comfortable earlier in your life. I can think of worse things than liking to collect buttons or getting a warm feeling over curtains and umbrellas. As for the loss of the pearl button, it would have made me cry as well, had it been a remembrance of someone I loved. http://isitnormal.com/story/18689/#comment-192717 2007-11-11 10:08:21
