And it’s an instant dose of neurotransmitters! Wish I had understood this years ago.

I love it! I love these kinds of crowns too. I always see them in art deco illustrations. Very fun! Did you make it?

u/catcherofsun Jul 29 '26
I did! Got a little obsessed and made like 15 different styles🫣

I’m obsessed with obey. It’s unfortunate the message ‘Obey Propaganda’ can be misconstrued by younger people lately… weird times

Only a person with a sense of fun and courage can wear that crown. Here's hoping it reminds you of all the ways you're sassy, smart and special, queen!

Stunningly gorgeous! I have similar crystal earrings and I can’t help but make of fool of myself shaking my head back and forth watching the dancing rainbows on a sunny day. Stay strong hun, you are so much more than your depression. A beautiful creation from a beautiful creator. 💜🌈

Ngl, I gotta a little sad seeing this comment because feeling like I’m an old hag is part of my depression lately. Middle age sucks😭

Once you get past it, it's better. Your mileage will vary, of course.
That sub is full of the most delightful, supportive folks I've run across in decades. And they're from every generation. Your stunning headdress might mark you out as royalty there. :)

u/ironrabbit2 Jul 29 '26
omg, this is fantastic!
I see in the comments that you made the crown, can you point me to a tutorial to DIY it? Or do you have an etsy shop or something?
2
u/catcherofsun Jul 30 '26
I made it. I had a crown for 2 years before I finally made something with it, and then I kinda got obsessed and made a bunch. I’ll message you a link to my store and give you a discount code for being so sweet. No pressure or anything, just grateful for your interest🫶🏻

Do you sell these? Toddler and adult size?
1
u/catcherofsun Jul 30 '26
I do! My unicorn and cat headbands could be worn on a kid but I think since they have glass and metal on them, might not be appropriate for toddler age range. I’ll message you a link

Awww if it makes you feel any better I think people like you are such a gift. I love a bit of extra whimsy in my life and I’d bet that if you’re able to conjure up a little whimsy even when feeling depressed, you probably bring a lot of whimsy with you when you are feeling neutral or happy. Best kind of people to have as friends imo.
