I sat on this challenge for a long time because it broke open my heart a bit. I have to admit, though, that I am glad I did this even if it took a completely different direction from everyone else. It was therapeutic.


 


For my layout I used Blended Stories by Miss Fish (template) and Purple Passion by Aimee Harrison.


 


Journaling reads: These rings symbolize a love that was supposed to last forever. They symbolize a partnership. Now to look at them, they show me something broken. Something that I don’t think can be fixed. I try so hard to keep quiet about my pain and my struggles but at this moment to be honest, it is getting to be too much. I can’t say that I don’t love him, I will always love him. But, I think there comes a point that two people grow so far apart that there is no more coming together. I need space and I need support because I am going through the most trying time in my life. And honestly, these are the reasons that I have sat on this jewelry challenge for such a long time.
