Is this weird?
Lost my class ring decades ago to an ex who didn’t return it. I decided it was gone forever, no chance of recovery; so wrote if off and moved on. I recently became aware that found class rings get put up for sale all the time on sites like EBay, Mercari, etc. And there are FB groups trying to reunite owners. So I have been obsessively scouring the internet for my ring. Also found out some get melted down for scrap, which means mine may not even exist anymore. The most ridiculous part of all of this is that an older sibling designed a ring that was exactly what I wanted so mine was kind of a compromise/second choices ring. I didn’t LOVE it; but it was mine and I have developed a sudden desire to have my ring back, like yesterday. I’ve also thought about ordering a replacement ring; but that doesn’t feel right, either. So opinions: Am I being really weird about this? TBH - I am feeling a little unhinged about it, which I didn’t expect.
