@avant-garde I want to say the F word, because F***! That poem is so powerful. Ironically I posted something along the lines of your poem on social media myself a few days back -

@avant-garde I love your bracelet and go you for working with memory wire! It always used to frustrate me! I love the little butterfly too.
I so wish I could ship all my beads and findings to you! I have heaps of Swarovski crystal bicones and rondelles that are gathering dust in their tubs in the shed. I have moments of doing a couple of pieces and then I pack everything up and forget about it for another couple of years these days. There was a time when I would spend hours making bracelets, necklaces and anklets.
I have a tackle box full of tiger tail in different gauges and colours, as well as monofilament and memory wire. I don't want to just donate it to the op shop, I'd rather give it to someone who loves jewellery making, like you.
Maybe I could send it to Sane headquarters and get them to onforward it lol! (joking)

I love the versatility and durability of memory wire. Elastic is bleh and I don't see the point, I have and use tigertail but it's a matter of length. Memory wire fits to the person and it doesn't matter how big or small your wrist is, it'll fit you.

I'm scared you know, scared of what daylight brings, scared of what I don't know about her, this new psychologist... she's experienced I know that much... 16 years working with sexual abuse survivors, but I'm scared so dreadfully scared that she won't understand me that she'll deny me EMDR but I have distinct memories, so many distinct and horrifying memories that they haunt my days and nights...
I had to you know... I had to describe so many of them to police and redress and they burn in my memory
TW: ritual and sexual abuse
Teachers, pastors, every authority figure or person with mandatory reporting... they could've helped... but they didn't...
I remember details because they're details that are impossible to forget...
