New years eve hang-out

@Blackcloud Ah fair enough! I have some good memories of feeding swans with my pop at some rivers in Melbourne when I was younger 😊.

Hope you are having a restful day 🙏

@Rosepetal96 oh wow, that sounds like those 4 months have been such stressful and difficult times for you with a combination of several health issues you’ve experienced 😞 I don’t know what to really say but I hope things get better for you in terms of your health my friend ❤️

i hope the new year is and will be treating you kindly as well 🙂

@Chasingsunsets ohh I see! Yeah I think swans look pretty, it would be nice if I can come across them too at anytime of day 🙂

I had an ok day so far, just feeling/being pretty tired right now haha

Yes @Blackcloud it was a bumpy few months, but I believe I am slowly resurfacing on the healthier side 🤞✨️

My focus is to take it one minute at a time and enjoy the moment and try not to race too far forward, but not look backwards either 🌻

@Rosepetal96 Appreciate you for letting me know that you’re slowly getting towards the healthier side of stuff with your health, that’s great and a relief to hear. ❤️ and I’m proud of you for already pushing through and looking at it in the positive side 🌻☀️

I am trying my best, I still have some pretty low days and can have some pretty erratic mood swings, but I think as the iron levels stablise from the infusion and I continue therapy, rehabilitation and my medications I am slowly becoming better 🌟 @Blackcloud , it's a journey 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

Aww I love that you created this space @MissGremlin!

New Years can be such a vulnerable time for so many of us... and ensuring that people had a space to connect that night was really kind of you. 🥰

@avant-garde This is an incredible feat... I am in awe and so proud of you for creating such beautiful and authentic poetry and devoting time to your craft every day. That's not something everyone can do. How was this experience for you? 🤩

Awwww thankyou @AuntGlow, it was a hard night for me so having this space for myself and others to connect helped me aswell ☺️

@AuntGlow

Sometimes it felt like such a chore, but looking back on it now? It was those "chore days" that sparked new approaches and ideas, different scenarios of where my poetry could be used... It truly was beautiful to discover ways in which to grow in my poetry.

I like that my mental health improved with it though, that I felt more heard and understood, that when sentences failed, poetry didn't.

That's such an amazing reflection @avant-garde. I can see how much this process helped deepen you into your creative process and also help you to feel emotionally and mentally supported - such a huge win!! 🥹

Do you have a similar goal for this year? 💛
