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

I always plant geraniums to remind myself of the good parts in life @tyme @creative_writer @Zoe7 . I'll have to search for the book as I know it's "somewhere" at home!! She has lots of good sayings.
Night, night @Zoe7 . Thank you all for letting me join in here.

@Zoe7 And @Eve7 this week was my second week, so I’m settling down too. I think adjusting to new routines takes time, particularly if you have other stuff going on in your life. We are doing the best we can 💖
I want to grow old with a sense of humour @Eve7, @Zoe7 and @tyme. Humour makes everything easier in life

Good idea @creative_writer Since I can't even grow succulents (or keep them alive), I may as grow humour... why not?

Have you tried geraniums @tyme ? They are pretty hardy.

I may forget the water, but it'll sure get the 'sh!t' it needs (fertilizer) @creative_writer

I apologise if that addition about the fertilizer is a bit offensive. I can remove it. @creative_writer
