Hi there! Thank you for your curiosity about how My Time Gems was formed!
I'm always happy to share this story and I'm even more happy that YOU are here to read it <3
Before My Time Gems became My Time Gems, It was known as StrawbbQuartz.
Ever since I was a kid I've been interested in crystals, but I never really did anything with them.
One day, at around the age of 10 I got 3 very pretty crystals from someone my aunt knows. I loved them (and still do), but I never learned anything about them and just had them laying on a shelve as decoration. It wasn't until March 2022 that I found out what they are (in case you're wondering, they are a fluorite mini tower, an aura bismuth and a polychrome jaspis egg). I was 17 at that time. Sooo.. that's quite a time jump isn't it? Well, I found crystals again through Tiktok and loved them so much that I ordered some from a small business in February and March of 2022. Then I quit buying them again until July and nowadays, I have a big collection that I'm super happy with and proud of and it's still growing everyday :)
Well, my love for crystals became so big that I decided to start a very small business for crystals on the 25th of August 2022, named StrawbbQuartz. I made a few sales under this name and I was super happy to help others with growing their collections. However, I didn't have many crystals to offer. I decided I wanted to change that and I can now proudly say that I did.
But I never felt 100% happy witht my name back then and it took me a long while until I found one that I do feel a 100% happy with, which is of course, My Time Gems!
I announced my new name on the 19th of July 2023, which is almost a year after i started my account! It's pretty crazy that it took me so long to come up with this name right? But I guess that everything has a reason :p
Now you might wonder, why My Time Gems? Well you've probably already guessed what gems stands for: gemstones of course! No further explanation needed for that right? But.. how about My Time?
I have been an ARMY (BTS' fandom name) since the 17th of may 2018. Those 7 boys have helped me through so many difficult things, and they bring me so much happiness and motivation every single day (through their songs especially).
I love and appreciate all 7 members but there is one member that has stood out to me from the moment i first saw one of their music videos and that member is Jungkook, the singer of My Time.
The lyrics of My Time are about growing up too fast, which is something i can relate to and can recognise myself in. In the song he asks himself “can i someday finna find my time?” and now, I have finally decided to look for “My Time.” I have been working on my self growth, I started working on making my dreams come true, etc.
So the song and from now on also this name, will always be a reminder to myself to find My Time <3
