A year ago I happened upon an adventure that made me smile. It gave me hope at the end of the dark days, it made me feel good. I dove head first into this and it was a wild ride.
However lately, life has been hard. After a day of more bad infertility news, struggling with my autistic child, and other various life events, my pottery wasn't making me smile anymore. About once a week it was actually making me cry. Whether it was stress from not being as good or as fast as I'd like to be, or the horrible comments and messages online. I felt like a failure because of something that once gave me joy.
While I'd love to say I have thick skin, life has worn me down too far. And I dont want to continue doing something that doesnt make me happy. Yesterday I started to put it all away. I dont know if this is forever or just for a chapter, but my priority right now is my son, my family, and my survival.
Thank you for your support.
