Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of things and don’t feel like my trauma defines me and I don’t feel so ashamed and scared. Other times I want to hide from the world and feel like a **** (I’m not going to say the word here since I don’t want to trigger anyone) 😭, I feel so ashamed that I don’t want people to know

@creative_writer mm wise choices. I'll get there eventually 😅 I just like having the ritual of making a cuppa of a morning!
Haha I feel like that's an autistic thing - saving the best till last. I mean maybe it's also a human thing, but I don't know many neurotypicals who will empty a bag of skittles into a bowl to be sorted into flavours then consumed in order of least to most delicious.... guilty 🤣
That is a great topic! Deffo good to lean into areas of passion and compassion - I did my big research paper on the lack of MH support systems for LGBTQ+ youth and because it's my community, I poured my heart into it.
Oooh yes kitties!! A very good reason to travel anywhere haha. Peru was absolutely magical, jungles to mountains and incredible art, culture, and architecture. I also participated in some ayahuasca and San Pedro ceremonies over there - life-changing experiences which I'm always happy to yammer on about if you're curious.
I'll be off soon so I will bid you goodnight, and catch up with you soon 💜

@creative_writer hahaha yesssss cupcakes are always eaten base-first, icing last! It's the best way.
Yeah for sure, I would think the irony (of having our accessibility benefits so difficult to access) is hilarious if it wasn't so deeply tragic and extremely disappointing. I'm glad that it's an area of passion for you, I can picture you doing some incredible work in that area one day.
I didn't know there was that many cats and cat-lovers in Turkiye! Adding to my destination dream list hahaha. Friend of mine also recommended Morocco, so that's on my list too - maybe I'll go on a Kitty Cat Tour of the whole region 😸
Hope you're doing okay tonight 💜

Sounds good @creative_writer 🌺🙂
im ok thanks.. feeling a bit teary today, but that’s because sometimes things are a bit confronting with life and sometimes those things remind me of hardships in the past.
I’m ok 🌺💜
you have a good day and I hope things are ok
