Tooky History: Clipart but potentially triggering

Tooky History: Clipart but potentially triggering

This is a little project I did earlier this week, inspired by @Faith-and-Hope on one of the art threads, also @Appleblossom and Sherry, and some others on the Carers side.

The story "reads" left to right line by line as you would a book.

Some will "get it" some probably won't but nonetheless, it depicts my "black hole" story and everything in it is chosen or placed deliberately. It's supposed to be a side by side trilogy but in this format it's the three sequential pages so the pics in the collage can be seen.

It's a little scary posting it because it means something to me but well here it is anyhow.

Hi @Former-Member ....

This is a boat I painted a couple of years ago. When I painted it .... in faith and hope .... I didn't know I was painting it for you and @Former-Member .... I didn't know you then .... you were both beyond my horizon ... but that's the thing about faith and hope .... it brings new things to you.

Even when Yu think you are in the doldrums, in limbo, there are subtle tides moving you forward ....

Dont be afraid. Paddle your boat every day .... feel the sunshine .... you will see colourful fish in the water .... a dolphin occasionally ... you will smell fresh air and see some salt spray sometimes ......

Look at the colours of the sky reflected in the water here. Water is never actually still .... it contains an energy ... a life-force of its own ....it sparkles, and ripples, cradling the boat and gently rocking it ....

The boat in this painting is in a safe harbour. You are safe. Breathe .....calm .... the storm has gone ..... the water is smooth and calm .....

Breathe ....

@Faith-and-Hope - thank you so so much for having this here for me to see this morning. I have tears and will print this beautiful painting and keep it somewhere safe.

It's a struggle this morning, with tiredness now to add to the mix. I think little boat will spent today quietly sitting in the harbor, where it has been gently taken to, away from the ocean of nothingness by wonderful people (like yourself and @Former-Member) and that tide that you're right - is always moving (thank you for the reminder). The harbour is a nice place to stay for a while and rest.

💕

{Sneaks onto thread while no-one is looking and delivers this ridiculously large anchor for @Former-Member to find so that LB can be still for awhile on the choppy waters, and know that it is completely ok to be still and to simply...be.}

@Phoenix_Rising - thank you so much for this anchor - it's a very welcome addition to the harbour. Sitting here still sounds really good. I am about to sit next to a rainbow squishy in the sun for a while

@Faith-and-Hope And @Former-Member Oh that's just so kind and beautiful, the boat. And hand painted. No words from me need spoil that, the picture, and the sentiment in your words, faith and hope, say it all.

@Phoenix_Rising Maybe a "ridiculously" large anchor, but that may be what Funshine needs to get her to stop in the moment to watch the whales, dolphins and dogs in their diving suits, and of course the turtles. and just be 🙂 Thankyou.

Noooooo @Former-Member 😞 Has it gotten worse or harder this afternoon?

Re: Tooky History: Clipart but potentially triggering

I don't think I can do this anymore. I'm the one person this forum can't support. That BPD thread showed me, there is no point in ever seeking help outside of myself, because nobody will ever "get" what I have been through and he will always win. @Former-Member
