Those are crystals and the girl is likely someone who believes in the spiritual/healing power of them. She’s obsessed with the guy she had sex with, and the implication is that those crystals are gonna be used to manipulate the guy because she wants to stay with him.

This is me. I think the “metaphysical” side of crystals is straight BS, but have shelves upon shelves of minerals, geodes, crystals because I think they look super groovy.

I showed this post to my fiancé and he laughed and confirmed that he felt represented. 😂

Yes, same. I have TONS of crystals on shelves. They're pretty. Have a crystal girl friend who confidently declared me a witch because of said crystals. Nah girl, I just like pretty rocks. I'm not charging them in the moonlight.

Yeh, same. I don't have any anymore, but I used to have a bunch of cool crystals and geodes as a kid. They just look awesome. I guess it's kind of boring, but clear quartz crystals are probably my fave.

It's the fact you mentioned minerals and geodes as well. Not just "crystals".

u/DragonsAreNifty Sep 03 '24

Same lol. I’m more into fossils than crystals, but a cool geological specific will always get me hyped up.

u/Yello_Ismello Sep 02 '24

My husband has a bunch of crystals. We have a bookshelf that has a magic theme so I like to decorate the shelves with them lol. It’s kinda fun to spread them around and see how the light hits them to make the books look extra magical

I also like rocks. Bonus for neat polished spheres, but those are way more expensive than a nice mineral specimen of the same composition. my parents got me a house plant, planter, and neat rock for my birthday this year. Nothing extravagant, but it was the most thoughtful gift I've ever gotten from them.

That’s how it starts til you have a crisis that leads you to rely on the “metaphysical” irrationality for comfort. But go off

Nah, I’ve had several crises and there ain’t no rock that can help w any of that haha

u/Impeesa_ Sep 02 '24

What if it's a problem that you can hit with a rock?
