My January Bead Journal Project isn't quite finished yet; I need to add more strands to the web and decide on a way to display this, but I decided to reveal it anyway.
At the beginning of this year I was feeling caught up in a web of despair, confusion, and self-doubt brought on by an argument I had had with someone a few months earlier.
I began this piece with the idea of using seed beads and crystals in shades of gray and black to match the world I was living in at the time; but, eventually pink hope and red passion made their way back into my life and into my bead work.
This post is only a few short paragraphs long, but it has been difficult for me to write.
Even if it was only for a little while I let someone filled with his or her own despair and self-doubt have power over me, and I wish I hadn't let that happen.
I like to say that "sometimes it's a bitch to be human and sometimes it's human to be a bitch." I'd like to add to that by saying "Don't ever let a bitch treat you like you aren't human."
