it's my blue spinel bracelet, it's just a comforting thing to have on me since it reminds me of one character of my favorite series from childhood that helps me get through childhood hardships

Saying "break a leg" is a way of saying "I wish you end up in the cast" according to my theater friends.

I have a sulphur infused quartz pendant. I live in Brazil, where almost anything can become alucky charm. A seed from an Amazonian tree? Check. A stone yoi found on the street on your way to catch a bus? Check. A receipt from the first thing you bought after you got a new job? Check. A kidney stone? Check. I guess we're all superstitious. But most of us don't actually rely on these. They're "just in case".

I don't necessarily have a good luck charm, but I do have a red nazar bracelet. My grandmother gave me a red one with crystals a long time ago, but I lost it, so I decided to buy the red beads and make a new one myself (it has blue irises, so the red and the blue go well together). I do wear it often, mostly for fashion, but I am aware of its significance as a lucky charm.
