heartache, heartbreak.

ok.

i think it's time to talk about it.

--------

a few weeks ago,

my partner of over 5 years

broke up with me.

it's been messy,

emotional and heartbreaking and confusing and awful.

i feel like i no longer know myself,

and i no longer know

where i belong.

currently i'm in ottawa,

trying to pick up the pieces

of my muddled heart,

and put together

some sort of future

for myself.

but it is really,

really

hard.

i keep seeing wedding photos,

couples on the street,

magazine articles

on how to "keep your man happy,"

car commercials!

and they all make me want

to do nothing but cry.

the upheaval that's come of this breakup

is so much crazier than i'd anticipated,

and i no longer have

someone to help me get through it,

someone to tell me it'll be alright,

someone to love me unconditionally,

like i did for half a decade.

so, like i said: rough.

anyway,

i just needed to get that out -

not for pity,

but for awareness.

---------

i'm still working on a proper launch

for my jewellery,

and the new site

(and logo!)

will be along shortly.

i'm so excited for the revamp,

i can't even say...

making beautiful things

for beautiful people to wear

is the ray of sunshine

in my life right now,

and keeping myself busy

is what's keeping me sane.
