Sending hope love and light

Sending hope love and light

I was reading a beautiful poem about just doing what you can when you are sad or suffering, it said "just stop and rest" then "do some more". I am learning to stop, have a cry, have a nap, then keep going... each time, the tears get less intense...

So if you're going through something tricky and painful right now, stop and rest, cry if you need to, then back yourself, and gently, ever so gently...keep going. Just one foot in front of the other. I am sending so much love to anyone who is trying their best atm. It's tough out there, but you have yourself, the SANE community, and the wonder of the world around.... even a dew drop is beautiful. Also, I personally have a fluffy unicorn 🦄 that I hug when there's just no words..... highly recommend having a fluffy toy to hug 🫂 Sparkles to all.

PS I'm seeing for first time what I've allowed in my life via a DV ex-relationship. I'm feeling truly hopeful ☺️

Hi @Alice10 I just saw this thread and thought I’d like to pop in and say that this is such a beautifully well written post. your kind and inspiring words mean so much to me, and to everyone else in this wonderful and connected community that are currently going through some struggles/battles/difficulties in life. ❤️

And well done for getting out of that former relationship, you are a strong person and I really admire you for that. 🤗💕 go you!! 💪🏼

Re: Sending hope love and light

@Alice10 I’m not in a great position financially currently, but I am trying my best and hardest to manage it all as well as figuring out other student accomodations where the rent is cheaper than the one I’m at now. It’s hard cause the ones that have a cheaper rent that I could easily afford are located quite far from the CBD which would mean I usually will need to take public transport (the train especially) to go to the city as well as taking a bit longer than that to get to my parents house..ooof!😅

and then the other student accomodation that’s located quite close to where I live now, the rent price for that one is currently $419 p/w. Though the unfortunate thing is, that one has a shared kitchen (but a private bathroom and a private bedroom which is what I want).


So now it’s like I’ll really have to go for the hard options (the ones I’ve mentioned above) instead of going for the easy options, since the easy options will not get me anywhere financially.

I’m glad I don’t need to go for the shared rooms this time, since I’ve tried living in the shared room when I’ve first moved in here during the first week, but then eventually I wanted to switch to a private room a week later, since I knew that living with another person wasn’t worth it.
