I know the title sounds like a dumb question, because I'm sure the answer is a resounding yes but I'm wondering to what extent.

Allow me to explain;

I have had my grandmother's class ring since I was very little. She passed away when I was 4 years old and since then, it's been in my possession. When I got into middle school, and it finally fit me, I put it on and haven't taken it off since. However, as an adult, I have started to learn more and more about my grandmother and basically... she was a pretty awful person. She was mean and nasty, she was racist and exclusive of a lot of people. She hated my father, cheated on my grandmother multiple times. She was a verbally and physically abusive alcoholic and based on the stories (and being that I work in mental health, specifically drug and alcohol addiction, pretty sure she had a personality disorder somewhere in there).

Anyway, I've been wearing her ring for almost 20 years now. And I haven't always had the greatest of luck. I've also had a history of "doing things that aren't like me" or acting out in behaviors that are not within the norm for me. Or acting out in manic behaviors that seem out of the blue. Yes, I see a psychiatrist, yes I see a therapist. It's not that. It's just this weird feeling comes over me and I feel the urge to just... destruct. Self destruct or otherwise. But those who know me, know I'm not that kind of person.

Well, I took the ring off for the first time in many many many years, and put it on my other hand because I was getting a tattoo on my finger (the finger next to the one I had the ring on). And later that night, the ring fell off somewhere and it is no where to be found and honestly, I am not in any rush, desire or pressure to find it. I don't really care. Sure, it's a class ring from 1963 but it was attached to my grandmother who everyone agrees was not a kind person.

And since I haven't been wearing it... I feel... different. I don't know how to explain it.

Basically, what I'm wondering is - is it possible that the ring could have been carrying bad energy, potentially even influencing some bad behaviors or bad luck?

(of course, I take accountability for my actions and behaviors but sometimes, especially in the last few years, even I'VE been like "wtf - that's not like me, why did I do that" and it's been especially in the last few years that I've been learning more and more about her).

Any advise, anecdotes, direction, opinions... anything at all is welcome!
