New here. Seeking understanding
Hello ^^
I'm not sure how much depth is appropriate for an introductory post. I reflect a lot, but I'll try to keep it short and sweet.
Last year, I moved into a new environment. It allowed me to stabilise. I wrote every day: poetry, short stories, reflections, poetic reflective stories.
It's been quite a journey, but it seems I can confuse or even upset people at times. I don't force perspectives, but apparently, even poetry can cause upset. I realise there is a time and a place for such things, and it's not for everyone.
I'm not looking for validation or recognition, just a gentle kind of understanding. I've found it difficult to be peaceful and bright in a world full of friction, which seems to be my only real friction.
Sometimes, I can't help but express myself poetically. But, I'm not sure that kind of thing will resonate here. I soften my darkness, and dim my light, so that I can exist in a place that is supportive of my misunderstood and unexpected development.
I do have mental health conditions. I'm happy to talk about them.
I'm looking forward to exploring the forums. I often read a lot of posts before making my own.
