When We Were Young by SweetLittleVampire
I was so scared to face my fears
Nobody told me that you’d be here
And I swear you moved overseas
That’s what you said, when you left me
You still look like a movie
You still sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
(“When We Were Young” by Adele)

I Found It!
My grandmother passed away the year I started university and left a big gaping hole in my life. She practically raised me, and as sad as it is, her loss tore our family apart; nothing is like it was when she lived. She was like pure sunshine to me; an endless fountain of wisdom, fairy tales, stories and secrets. She taught me how to cook; I cut up strawberries and chopped veggies while she told me about her early school days; we went to buy meat together for the family feasts during Ramadan, and she recalled how it felt leaving her homecountry for Algeria, with no intention of ever returning…which she had to, in the end.
My grandmother allowed me to play dress up using her clothes and jewellery when I was a child, and amongst all her pendants and necklaces, the above pendant has always been my favourite. Mother´s Day had for long time been an important holiday where I come from, and if I remember correctly my grandma´s father gifted it to his own mother for Mother´s Day…so you can imagine how old it is. I always pestered her to give it to me because I liked it so much, and at one point when I entered my teens, she went: ”Only if you manage to find a pair of earrings to go with it.” Which I did, if only three years before her passing.
I thought I had lost the pendant. I was convinced it was gone, and it felt like I had betrayed my grandmother, because I had promised to keep it safe. I was inconsolable. I don´t even recall what I was looking for this afternoon when I picked up a box that seemed rather random to me in that particular moment - lo and behold, the pendant was in it. Then I remembered I only had stored it so well in order not to lose it, that I didn´t recall where I put it.
The frame appears to be vintage silver…I wish I knew what gem it is though. Even my grandmother didn´t know.

Tried to craft myself some Miraculous earrings. Because I can.
Still need to sand/trim down the edges a bit but hey, they´re not too shabby.
Made with earring studs and cabochons from the craft store, a black permanent marker, red nail polish, transparent self-adhesive foil, glue, and tons of trial and error and luck.
Also my camera is an idiot and won´t focus. Ugh.

Why the Sweet sometimes reacts strangely to friendly messages
Every time I get a sweet message - anon or not - I instantly get to think “What did I do to deserve all these friendly words?”
Because my brain still thinks that the fact that I´m a living, breathing, feeling human being with a personality and a plethora of emotions does not grant me the most basic levels of respect, or even neutral friendliness, for that matter. I still think I need to work hard to deserve something like friendship.

Fresh out of the oven: Vanilla-chocolate chip cupcakes with cream cheese and rose extraxt frosting. ♥
(The box is from HEMA.)

I am an adult. I am not playing with my Baby Nessie tea infuser as if it was a toy. Nope. Totally not.
It wiggles its head when you push its back. ♥

And thus the day has arrived on which I finally cannot longer claim that I´ve got as many Oscars as Leonardo DiCaprio.
Congratulations! :D
