Coprolite

[sorchawench]

A lot of the pain we are dealing with are really only thoughts.

Every week I'd make my way downtown for my appointment with my therapist, Cheryl. We'd spend an hour dredging up the old shit from my past.Turning it this way and that, examining it from every angle.

I've been in therapy for many years. And I sometimes question what it's gotten me. I still have fears and anxieties. I still think on those childhood events that left scars. There are days when I just don't think I can cope with anything. Those are the bad days.

Then there are those days when I am on top of the world. Nothing can touch me. There are no fears, no doubts, no emotional traps waiting for me. Those are the days when I can see clearly and when I can tell how far I've made it from that scared, bewildered child of 13.

A lot of my problems are past me now. They've become hardened bits of memory, fossilized and dusty, forgotten, sitting on a shelf in my mind. Every once in a while I'll take them down, dust them off, and remember how life was with them. Never forget, right?

But no matter what baggage I may be carrying, no matter how old my shit is, at least I'm not making jewelry out of it.

I was thinking that this entry was pretty decent, but then the jewelry thing just put it over the edge into great. Also, I discovered last night that there's at least one person on etsy who makes vagina jewelry. And it's not like pretty could be a vagina but only if you look close. It's like clearly a vagina, and about 1500 people have bought her stuff. I thought I should share because I have decided we are going to be best friends.

Now see, I'm into owning weird stuff, but when on earth would I wear my va-jay-jay jewelry? Other than to a showing of the Vagina Monologues? When is it appropriate to wear moose turds? These are things I NEED TO KNOW!

Thanks for reading and commenting and sharing, new best friend.

That's what I was thinking. It's a little cool, but they really looked a bit gross, and they were obviously vagina's so it's not like you could wear it in public all the time. I imagine there are 1500 people though walking around with vagina jewelry on and sleeping on vagina pillows.

I think moose turds are appropriate for only the most upscale black tie events. Especially if you get the ones with the 'bling' in them. You can't just casually wear moose turds. It has to be a really fancy event, especially one where they will be serving everything with moose poop swizzle sticks.

I really need an invite to a presidential ball now. So I can wear my blinging moose poop earrings.

[sonarvampress.livejournal.com]

It's really the only place fancy enough. though I admit, I once over dresses a little for the oscars and wore blinging moose poop earrings.

Really nicely done - I laughed, I cried - but seriously, good job with the topic.

Thank you!

Nice job contrasting the real, touching emotions with the humor of the jewelry!

[noodledays.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I ugess one can make jewelry out of anything! I like the comparison with RL. Nicely done.

[sorchawench.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

No. No. No coprolite jewelry. Such a thing would truly be criminal! *Smile*

[sorchawench.livejournal.com]

I've seen pics of real coprolite jewelry and some of it is quite pretty...like agate. But moose poop?!?!?!

[vaguelyclear.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness. Poop jewellery. I have no words :O

Nice entry!

[sorchawench.livejournal.com]

And where would you wear it?!?!?! Thanks for reading and commenting!

[basric.livejournal.com]

I'm right there with you. Well done.

[sorchawench.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[sorchawench.livejournal.com]

Would it be wrong of me to admit I had no idea how to end the entry and figured when all else fails, score with poop jewelry!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

The jewelry line got me. Well done :)
