Re: Ever tried the beach?
That is a wonderful post, Chris. You've gone from total inertia to becoming creative and designing original sea glass pendants which you can sell! It's a very inspirational story and your achievement is all the more remarkable considering how low you were.
Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you enjoy the beach more and more as Winter approaches.
Re: Ever tried the beach?
Great post, Chris.
I too live in a lot of solitude which is fine, though as we all know balance in everything is key, and you can certainly have too much of a good thing.
I love what the support worker said "have a chat with a lamppost for all I care!" but that's the message - bloody get out there. Too many people feed their own issues with staying in and wallowing away on the internet, but you've done something really constructive and creative. Well done.
I don't live near the sea, but I do have a car and beautiful countryside around me, and so I find going out with my camera and taking pictures very relaxing - I think it's just being able to forget how you're feeling and really focus on the image you're taking. I imagine it must be the same for you, searching through the sand for your treasure. And then your brain starts to realise it can feel normal, if only you step aside from it.
