Tears
Chapter. 10
Tears
​
​
Isn't it weird that I am ending
this journey collection with tears?
​
​
In fact, this piece was not
even planned from the beginning.
​
​
But it is not an accident,
but something that was meant to be made,
​
an emotion I forgot to capture.
​
​
When I finished "all" the pieces, I started crying.
​
I started crying because I felt as though I have put my full heart into this collection,
​
I started crying because I started to worry about how people will respond to this collection,
​
I started crying because I felt like this collection is made to respond to my younger self,
​
to tell my younger self that I am worthy, I am enough, and I am loved.
​
​
With that emotional experience,
​
I decided to carve this one last piece.
​
​
​
Because it is not a journey without tears.
​
​
​
This is a ring to remind us all of the vulnerable
​
moments we had throughout this journey,
​
to acknowledge and appreciate them
as part of our growth process.
​
I hope this ring can become a piece for you to embrace and honour your tears.
Wear your tears bravely, proudly, without shame and without fear.
It is not a journey without tears.
​
​
​
Tears of heartaches,
​
Tears of realizations,
​
Tears of overcoming,
​
Tears of letting go,
​
Tears of joy,
​
Tears of anything,
​
Wear your tears bravely and proudly.
​
​
​
It's been a journey,
​
thank you
​
to you,
​
to myself,
​
to this journey.
