True love never dies; fantasies die so readily. I'll buy food with cash. And never part with the gold wedding band!

What survives u, go for it as long as it not a bad one. Depression run to you faster when you have conflicts in you... To keep and suffer or be better but have to let go something. Strive for what you can, cry if u feel you want to, but accept if worse thing for u at that moment... Surrender to change life? Dont! Not this one. Embrace your situation. Never let it permanent. Faith

A wedding ring is the symbol of love and marital bond. If one is to cash it for food, it will be an extreme situation. If there is no other option, it is better to sell it for appeasing hunger. A man cannot starve....! God can appear before a hungry person not as love but as bread. In an empty stomach, no one can think of love. Here you have brought before us a choice and seek what is our priority! Great lines!

Thank you so much, Valsa. Yes, this is exactly the kind of choice that would really have no joyous resolution.

Thanks, Bri...'fix up.' You are always there, Bri! But depression....not as in/related to anxiety or related emotion. Hope all is well.
