Maybe i can send somebody to put it in a better way...

Hahaha you're making me cry. I love Taylor Swift.

I was meaning with what you said about yourself and how you've changed.

Are you feeling better or something @Kyle1

I know you love Taylor swift... that's I went looking for you. @Birdofparadise8

She's singing about not giving up on hope, nor the possibility that time will come and change will happen, 'better' is on the way...

My advice: keep an eye out for "better". It will arrive. As surely as clouds part, and fog lifts... I'm sure you've noticed that out your window at some stage.?

Aww, thank you @Kyle1

You're so kind.

Has the "better" arrived for you recently?

yeah, "better" has arrived. @Birdofparadise8

Is everything fixed and hunkey-dory, tho?

No.

But a teeny bit of better is still...better!

So I'll run with it. That part can only be upto me.

Doncha think? 🙂

I'm so happy to hear you're doing a bit better, Kyle. You've had a hard road, so it's good you're getting there. Maybe it's the new meds and new psych you have and also your hard work, no doubt @Kyle1.

all of that @Birdofparadise8

And, I must admit, these forums and it's members have been a life raft in no small measure, too. ! 🙏

What are you doing this afternoon @Kyle1?

I might do an artwork instead. It might help me stop crying. I don't know what's wrong with myself right now.

How are your kids going?

sometimes when we cry @Birdofparadise8 it's because there are unseen flowers in us that need watering...

So go right ahead: give them a good soak!

I'll be laying down in a moment. And though there may be sounds resembling a snore, and rem beneath my lids, I insist you understand that I am merely meditating, OK?? 😆

no, seriously: I've been out and about this morning, and before picking up the teens and making a start on dinner (chicken casserole tonight), I will allow myself a power nap.

and I will listen to that T. Swift song again, too!

I will boldly confess I'm not what you'd call 'a fan', but I do quite like that song...

Have a great afternoon, Laura. Please enjoy your art 🫂🙏

You should listen to her new 1989 album @Kyle1

Enjoy your nap.

Mmm, I don't think it's a good thing with what I'm crying about. I'm just so sad. I don't even know why. Depression is a beast.

Yes, I'll get started shortly. Thanks, Kyle.
