Red's house

Red's house

Hi, I haven't been here consistently for a little while. Shutting myself off felt safer. I was formed after being suicidal last month. I needed to remove myself from online worlds for my safety and that of others. I'm doing better now, I'm just stressed out.

I enrolled myself to full time study at tafe in a few weeks. Getting that all done pushed me to my limits. But im looking forward. I have dreams. I have hopes. I have desires.

I want to pursue my business and my art talents. I will be doing a cert iv in business to give myself the skills to thrive in this. I want to have a future, which is great but scary. It gives the opportunity for failure. But also success. I got this.

Breathe, Red, breathe, create you're safe place. This thread I'll be hanging out more and try not to be too down or hard for myself. If anyone wants to hang out at my place they are always welcome.

There's always tea and coffee, with biscuits if desired. In this winter the fire is on and we can Chillax

@The-red-centaur oh I bet! Information overload is all too real I'm sure 😅 How long till first assignments are due?

Oh that is just a phenomenal mental image. In my mind the thing you're colouring in is also like, flowers and sunshine kinda themed, just to really lean into the juxtaposition!! Good on you for prioritising rest this evening 😊💜

Oh it's gorgeous @The-red-centaur!! And so much better than my silly lil mental image hahaha. I love how you've balanced the colours!! It reminds me of coral 😍

The dot-work looks like an indigenous style, is that correct? And little kangaroo prints too if I'm not mistaken! Incredible 💜

Lol @Jynx this book is a first nation's book.

I just bought a bunch of new ones from kmart today. You used to be able to only get these at the museum, im happy they are getting more accessible. This is the second time I'm going to fill the books lol.

Oh I love it @The-red-centaur and yeah for sure on the importance of accessibility, especially for the celebration of indigenous culture! I might have to grab one for my mum, she's a huge fan of indigenous art, she even used to run an art class for the local Aboriginal Medical Centre where she worked, and she'd often look to the local indigenous artist for inspiration for her silk painting (turns out the two styles actually work well together, if I can find an example I will have to share it). Thanks for the pic! Visual reminders always helpful 😊

I'm about to skedaddle, but feel free to tag me if you wanna share any more art, or any more chats!! Otherwise may the screams, kick drums, and that delicious thrum of the heavy metal bass carry you into a restful night! 💜

Re: Red's house

@Shaz51 @Ru-bee thank you

I was really triggered by something I found on an old flash stick that I thought was empty. It was of one of my paedophiles. ...I just can't do things rn.

I tried to stay in class by my internal dialogue and stress is so fking high. I just left. I can't do it.

I have to train home now. None of my supports are answering. I'm so out of it.
