Still here??

AppleblossomSenior Contributor

Still here??

I am amazed that I am still meeting people and posting here about all sorts of topics dear to my heart.

Its nearly 18 months, and I have been online most days, having only a few days off.

Thank you all you have responded to me or taught me about your lives and your loves and your coping methods.

Today I am tired in a lovely healthy out doorsy way.

I have finished the London based caring for psychosis course, but need to obssess less about mental health issues for a while.

I need to throw myself into my music and my new volunteering role at the zoo and try and keep level for my son.

Dont worry I will be back.

@Appleblossom. To Dream.... I love to dream. It's where we can sort out what we'd really like. The sort of life we would like to lead.
Knowing where you want to go and where you don't want to be, is a huge achievement.
Capitalist brothers ideas if life - suit him. Your ideas - will suit you.
Very happy to hear this news of yours. ♥♥♥

Thanks @utopia

Yes @Mazarita Thats is exactly what I mean.

Thinking about the last part of life includes death but a lot else besides ...

@eth The whole NDIS has a ? over future plans, but we can walk together. Something will emerge.

We have field hollers over the internet ... but are ladies hoisting our loads... like the cotton pickers.

I loved him tho the stoopid friggin' bast ad.

Yoo hear that mate.

He tried to prove me wrong all the time. So he could WIN. That just got him heapsa grief as I was just a bloomin big sister that loved him. Dumb A Men that compulsively compete and prove their womenfolk wrong need their heads read. DOesnt matter how much moolah they make.

You would been better lastin a bit longer in the race than winning .....

Its just the tragic destiny of some families I guess.

He loved the escapism of an

Re: Still here??

Good morning @Appleblossom I love the images you've been posting.

The 'he' in your last post sounds like a classic 'gaslighter'. Hoping he doesn't still use your precious energy. Is it about your brother or your ex?
