My Place

My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

Interesting to me that you have had similar experiences to me.

I guess that’s the beauty in the forums.

You find that you are not an orphan

I think too that it affects your relationships because you think you are going to be rejected again

Yeah for sure Shaz, it can have ripples across our lives that continue to impact us, even when we know in our hearts it's not the case.

Re: My Place

@Oaktree just re-reading your post and wanted to check in - do you still feel this way?

If my own Mother can’t love me then surely I am unlovable right?


Such a heavy feeling to have, just wanted to offer some hugs and solidarity 💜

Re: My Place

Dear @Jynx

But when is enough ?

When do we halt comparing each other childhood wounds ?

When do we seek and give empathy ? When do we put it behind us ?

When does the ripples change ?

Re: My Place

@Shaz51 women tend to marry him similar to their father. To change the story.

Mr Shaz is not mentally emotionally psychologically or physically abusive.

Therefore you must have done a LOT of work on yourself to stop the pattern of abuse.

What did you do to help yourself?
