What's a collar to me?

When I received my collar of protection, I was happy. Not because I was getting a collar, but because I was getting friends that I could trust. I felt more at ease knowing someone was looking out for me and I wasn't in over my head. Now, I felt like I've gotten a new sister and brother. It's the feeling of safety that I get when I'm wearing my collar. I feel brave and believe I will be okay to talk and interact with people.

The writing I read actually talks about one's opinion about a collar and what it means. But with my collar, I also feel like I have teachers,not just friends. I know it doesn't necessarily go with protection, but learning what I need to know what is expected of me, to communicate and not make a fool out of myself, is part of my protection, in my opinion.

I actually agree with the writer. The different collars and what they mean, help me think about what my collar means to me. It took me a while to sort out what I felt, but it was informative for me. Also, learning about the different ones and a good explanation of what they should mean.
