Starting Over
Nothing is complicated in life and it's just as simple as you want it to be as long as you let it.
When I was "in between jobs" or when I didn't have a job at all, it kind of got my mind going to that question "what am I going to do with my life now". That feeling of being lost and not knowing what to do next. It feels like the end of the world or maybe not, but it's just the scary idea of knowing that starting over is never easy.
It is easy to dream though and I did a lot of that, but to take a step towards them can seem like one of the most scariest things to ever do in life. The thought of failing can be such a terrible feeling, but the thought of never attempting to achieve your dreams can even worse.
In my quest to figure it all out, I stopped and just let it all go. I wanted to clear my mind and do something fun that I've always been interested in so enrolled myself into metal classes. I wasn't a pro at all and that was ok with me, but I was good at learning techniques that I could apply to the designs I wanted to make for myself. Eventually this hobby I liked dabbling in turned a side gig where friends would ask for pieces of jewelry for themselves. Then one day I realized if I put the same amount of effort and hard work into working for other people why couldn't it work for myself. Why did I always feel that the only way to "make it" is by working for others. It's been and still is a learning experience having a full-time job working for yourself, but in the end it's one of the best feelings to be able to create beautiful jewelry on my own.
My designs are based on that hardworking on the go person who's got ambition and passion. Jewelry for those who need an added touch to their effortless cool style, while staying subtle enough to compliment any look to let your confidence shine.
