Hiiii friends, I’m alive, sorry it’s been a while 👋🏻✨ But I’m back! And returning to markets starting tomorrow with the lovely people at alongside some awesome vendor friends! Come see me at their Night Market from 5-10pm. My mom will also be there debuting her new shop and selling her adorable handmade dolls and plushies! Check out her shop and give it a follow!
Now to get personal for just a second- It’s been almost two years since I’ve done a market or anything at all with Opal Chickadee. I’ll spare you the details, but something really weird started happening with my health- both physical and mental- and I’ve spent the past two full years trying to get through the worst of it, figure it out, and learn how to move forward. 2023 was hell, 2024 was confusion and chaos, and 2025 has been a slow but steady trickle of answers and improvement. After a long and traumatic journey through countless providers and specialists, mismanaged medication, and medical gaslighting, I’ve finally found some excellent doctors and professionals who have been able to shed light on chronic conditions I didn’t know I had, and my amazing therapist is helping me process it all.
I’m fine, nothing is seriously wrong, the right medication has made a drastic change in me, and it turns out I just have a little pile of chronic health issues that cause weird symptoms at times and mean I have to pay close attention to my body and my needs. I’m learning how to do that every day, and I feel more optimistic about the future than I have felt in years. Huge shout out and thanks to anyone who has been with me on this journey, mainly my mom and closest friends. It’s been an isolating experience and I’m nervous but excited to get back out there. Thanks to anyone reading this for your support and still following me!
(Side note- get your thyroid checked out if you think something might be wrong with it- that stupid little organ can cause more problems than you might realize.)
