Time goes by
Now a few years had gone by and Sydney was still staying committed to her deacon of keeping the rings around her neck. She had gotten very used to them being there, but they came with some challenges around regular life. For example, physical exercise was very difficult for her during this period.
The rings would seriously hurt if she strained herself too much and she always had bruises underneath the rings where her collar bone was. She ignored it though and kept doing her daily routine. It wasn’t until other factors would get involved that would take their heavy toll on her mentally.
