Men live their lives trapped in an eternal present, between the mists of
memory and the sea of shadow that is all we know of the days to come.
Certain moths live their whole lives in a day, yet to them that little
span of time must seem as long as years and decades do to us. An oak may
live three hundred years, a redwood tree three thousand. A weirwood
will live forever if left undisturbed. To them seasons pass in the
flutter of a moth’s wing, and past, present, and future are one.

Spinsterhood? Sounds good to me.
For the past, oh say, three years, my best friend and various other people have called me an old lady. Lately, my dad has started calling me an old maid, actually. And they're both pretty accurate. I mean, I may be only 25, but I know myself, I know my reactions to things, I know I've turned into a semi-hermit in the last year. And I have absolutely no qualms with this. I PREFER it. I LIKE not going out. I like not having a lot of friends. I like not going to bars. I'm fond of saying I got my wild days over ages 16-21. I guess it's true enough.
The truth is that I can never see myself getting married, having children, living that life. I'm not meant for it. I was meant to be alone. I feel it in my bones. My soul. My heart. It's embedded in my nature. I like to picture myself 30 years from now, sitting on the front porch of my southern manor, smoking cigars, drinking sweet tea laced with bourbon, surrounded by pit bulls. I'll be ornery and stubborn, and kind of mean. I'll yell at the neighborhood children, but then I'll feel bad and crochet them a hat, or bake them cookies. I feel like I also may be monstrously obese.
I'll see family and friends, of course, but for the most part, aside from the hundreds of dogs I'll rescue, I'll live alone.
There will never be another person I can tolerate long enough to establish a lifetime commitment. I change constantly. I'm a completely different person now that I was when I was 18 or 21. Some people can maintain a relationship with someone, despite the inevitable life changes, because they are meant to be, they change with each other or accept the changes in one another. I don't know if I could ever do that. I just....can't imagine sharing my life with someone like that. I don't see myself meeting someone, doing the usual rounds of getting to know each other, falling in love...making it a life.
I ended a three and a half year, very complicated, relationship in May, and the relief I've felt since then, to be on my own again, has been magnificent. I like this freedom of myself too much.
And that's that. Spinsterhood here I come!

I'm an avid reader; I always have been. There was a time when fictional characters were my only friends. A loner by nature, I've always preferred to get lost in imaginary worlds in the comfort of my own bedroom rather than venture out into the world too much. My book goal for this year is to read the classics I've either tried to read and gave up on in my teenage years or have been too afraid to ever try. Right now, I'm half way through A Dance with Dragons, and it will probably take me the rest of this month to finish it. So I figured I'll be starting the New Year with some classic literature. First up:
This has nothing to do with upcoming movie, I swear, haha. But it DID remind me I've been meaning to read this for a while. I've heard it's a challenge, but given all the smut I've been reading lately, that'll be a good thing.

Photo Jewelry
I LOVE making photo jewelry. It's a great way to take your favorite art and people with you. It's wearable art! And it can proudly proclaim your love of an artist, painter, design, actor/actress, band, animal, movie, the list is endless. I love taking my own loves and making photo jewelry from them. It makes me happy when someone buys that item because someone else out there appreciates the same crazy, beautiful stuff I do.
My latest batch are some gorgeous vintage lady digital art photos, accented with vintage set stones.
They are available in my Etsy stop for $12 each. I have many photo jewelry items in my shop, including necklaces and pins.

Gonna try this blogging thing again....
It's been a long time since my days of teenage Live-journaling, and I've tried before to blog again, but it never took. I love looking at and reading other people's blogs, especially other crafters and artists, so I figured, try again. I have more items to share now and maybe more to say. So this blog will be mostly information on what I'm making, how my Etsy shop is growing, and inspiring things I find online and around the world. Perhaps this will even motivate me to practice my photography skills....
Well, here we go.
