(This is Part 1 of my personal series: "The Light I Found In The Dark").
Dear You,
If you’ve somehow found your way here, to this corner of the internet, to my words.. thank you for showing up. I don’t take it lightly.
Truth is… this was never just a business to me.
It started from survival. From silence. From nights I didn’t think I’d make it. From teenage years where the weight in my chest never let up, and no one really knew how much I was struggling. I carried depression like a secret I was ashamed of, a shadow that wrapped itself around everything. And I’ll be honest: I’ve been to that edge. The kind where I didn’t want to be here anymore.
There are days even now when it still lingers. Like an old friend, depression doesn’t fully leave. But I’ve learned to meet it differently. Not with fear.. but with tools, grit, awareness, and self-respect.
Some days I look around and genuinely think: “I’m still here. I’m really here.”
Alive. Living. Building something I used to dream about from a place of complete darkness.
And that’s what Crystolight & You was born from.
Not a polished brand story.
But a series of breaking points that eventually led to becoming.
The crystals, the tarot, the astrology, they’re not decorations or trends. They were lifelines. Mirrors. They helped me piece myself back together when everything else fell apart.
So if you’ve ever felt alone in your pain… If you’ve ever looked around and thought no one gets it. If you’re someone who’s survived things you’ve never even put into words..
Please know this space was built with you in mind.
You’re not too much. You’re not broken. And you are absolutely not alone.
I may not have all the answers, but I promise: What I offer here is real. Intentional. And honest. Just quiet tools for those who want to find their way home to themselves gently, and in their own time.
Thank you for being here. It means more than you know.
With love,
Eileen
