Something’s not right

Not Coping

Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Not Coping

True @Birdofparadise8 maybe you could get one tiny potted succulent? They're easy as to take care of, and you could pop it on your windowsill or something. I dunno, I never used to care about plants or want them and now I'm like YES PLEASE GIMME TINY GREEN BABIES TO NURTURE hahaha

Re: Not Coping

I have a Lego Orchid now @Jynx

I had a succulent but it doesn't look very good. It doesn't get enough light in my room.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 ahh dang, yeah not enough light makes it super tricky! My one indoor plant is a calathea, which are jungle dwellers so used to being under a canopy. All my succulents are outside, I tried keeping em indoors but they...didn't like it 😅

Oooh I have the lego orchid set too! I haven't put it together yet though, the only ones on display are my bonsai and my tallneck (from a video game called Horizon: Zero Dawn). I don't know if you like Stranger Things? But someone made their lego orchid into the demogorgon, it's soooo cool! The Demogorchid haha:

Re: Not Coping

Hey @creative_writer yeah I'm feeling pretty spiffy this evening. How you going?

Yeah it's so cool right? I wish could make anything half as cool as that, but I just end up following the instructions ahaha. Something quite soothing though about getting lost in the step by step process. Might have to pull my orchid set out this weekend and have a good go of it (and try not to destroy my back from sitting on the floor for five hours like I did with my bonsai set 😅)

Do you like lego?

Re: Not Coping

@Jynx, I haven’t really tried creating art pieces from Lego, it does sound fun 🙂. I had a busy day at uni, I’m back home now, back with my thoughts from last night

Re: Not Coping

Hi @creative_writer

How are you?

I miss talking to you, but maybe I'm just to needy want to talk to everyone. Anyway, how is placement and uni going? How much longer do you have left for the year? I had my last exam yesterday, so it's good that it's done. I just have my summer unit left.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 if you google 'demogorgon lego orchid' there's heaps of photos. I dunno about a build guide though. I also read somewhere that they used pieces from other sets? But I'm not sure. Worth a looksie perhaps!
