Hope it was okay @avant-garde 💜

@Jynx

Just got home, I didn't hate it, I actually enjoyed it

@avant-garde I want to say the F word, because F***! That poem is so powerful. Ironically I posted something along the lines of your poem on social media myself a few days back -

@avant-garde this warms me to hear 😊

I hope your week is smoother sailing hun; even though the subject matter was heavy, I have really enjoyed connecting with you this weekend 💜

And you too @ENKELI always 😉

May your sleep be restful and your dreams full of whimsy 😋💜

@avant-garde I love your bracelet and go you for working with memory wire! It always used to frustrate me! I love the little butterfly too.

I so wish I could ship all my beads and findings to you! I have heaps of Swarovski crystal bicones and rondelles that are gathering dust in their tubs in the shed. I have moments of doing a couple of pieces and then I pack everything up and forget about it for another couple of years these days. There was a time when I would spend hours making bracelets, necklaces and anklets.

I have a tackle box full of tiger tail in different gauges and colours, as well as monofilament and memory wire. I don't want to just donate it to the op shop, I'd rather give it to someone who loves jewellery making, like you.
Maybe I could send it to Sane headquarters and get them to onforward it lol! (joking)

@ENKELI

I love the versatility and durability of memory wire. Elastic is bleh and I don't see the point, I have and use tigertail but it's a matter of length. Memory wire fits to the person and it doesn't matter how big or small your wrist is, it'll fit you.

I 💜 you too @ENKELI

I'm scared you know, scared of what daylight brings, scared of what I don't know about her, this new psychologist... she's experienced I know that much... 16 years working with sexual abuse survivors, but I'm scared so dreadfully scared that she won't understand me that she'll deny me EMDR but I have distinct memories, so many distinct and horrifying memories that they haunt my days and nights...

I had to you know... I had to describe so many of them to police and redress and they burn in my memory

TW: ritual and sexual abuse

Teachers, pastors, every authority figure or person with mandatory reporting... they could've helped... but they didn't...

I remember details because they're details that are impossible to forget...

Here with you @avant-garde, hearing how hard it is to relive these events when you start with a new support. Is today a first session with a new psychologist?

If so I'm hoping it all goes okay, though I know first sessions are always hard.

@Ru-bee

Yeah in 30 minutes

First coffee
