Semicolon Dangle Charm
Michael, USASuffering from depression, anxiety, or any sort of mental illness is a real challenge. And we should not feel that it is a challenge that we have to face alone. The semicolon has, for a while now, been seen as an idicator for mental illness, and is also a way to reach out to others, and say you are a safe space. Also, it is a reminder that, no matter what, life will go on, and get better. Sometimes, this is a reminder that we need. While this bead may not be one that is expected, I do believe that it is important. And I would love to see it on the collection, as I do believe it combines beauty, with a great cause.
This charm has the bracelet, or necklace, go through the top of a silver semicolon. Then, connected to this top, is the lower part of the semicolon, which would dangle and dance freely from your bracelet or necklace. Please vote this charm, and help support the cause of mental health awareness.
The Designer
My name is Michael Nylander, and I have a disability known as Strumpell Lorrain Syndrome, which makes it difficult for me to walk, and has me requiring the use of a walker. Still though, I do not let this stand in my way. I am the type of person that is always making others happy, and always reaching for my dreams, no matter what. I feel it is always important to reach for ones dreams, and to not let anything hold us back. Life is an adventure. And that adventure can be wonderful, if we always remember to reach for our dreams.
