Description Comfort can be obtained from small things, a sweater of a father perhaps.

It can be taken from hugs, physical contact and warmth.

I found comfort in her ring. She let me borrow it, for a day or so, but that is where I found comfort when I couldn't get it from her directly. It reminded me of her, not just because it was hers but because of the traits it bore.

It was metal, rather strong. It didn't bend under light pressure like wire would or other rings I've had have done. On the inside, it appeared dark, but when I shifted the light it showed the true spectrum of colours it held. On the outside was depictions of skulls and cross bones, placed over a dulled steel band. It made the ring seem tough on the outside, and the stainless steel made it seem as if nothing could harm it.

That's how she is. Strong, dangerous, with a dark spirit. That was a bit of a rouse, I've seen her true colours, heard her voices, listened to her fears. Her ring reminded me of her, and it made me want to keep it close. Her hands are bigger than mine, so her ring rests on my thumb where it is safest. At one point though, it slid off, and it must have been quite the sight to see me drop my things and lunge for it. I got it though, and placed it safely back onto my hand, so I could keep it close still.

As odd as it sounds, I even found the ring managed to place my hormones back into a form of balance. It soothed me, made the day I was having seem not so awful or painful. When I began to be stressed I could rub a finger over the smooth metal, feel the warmth from her that seemed to stay. I can feel where her own fingers had run over the ring, and in that I find a sense of peace.

My comfort is in a ring, and for a reason I can't explain, I'm perfectly okay with that.

Mind vomit-rambles are some of the best rambles.
If you don't mind I'll be giving some rambling in return. 
I know the feeling of having something from someone dear to you, that can calm, and relax you. Though, I feel mine is a bit more materialistic, since there's not as many aspects of the person dear to me, in my thing, that thing being a t-shirt. To me it's just the fact that she wore it, and that it still smells like her, that has the calming effect on me, and the fact that I can hug it, and put it on my pillow when I can't sleep.

It's always great to find that sense of comfort somewhere. And I've had my girlfriends hoodies or shirts with me before, so I'd curl up with them and those were the best nights of sleep I would get if she wasn't there with me. I can't really wear them around though, seeing as it leads to many questions I don't really wish to answer from the populace of the people I'm forced to be around. The ring though, most don't notice it. It's nice, involves few questions, if any, and still brings to me that comfort. It's great when I'm in public.
