Something’s not right

Riding a wave

Riding a wave

Hi all,

@CherryBomb, @Former-Member or any other @Former-Member floating around Forum Land, will you ride a wave with me? I thought I would be fine doing something...but it turns out that the something has made my big feelings BIG and now I'm in a pickle...and there's nothing worse than a pickled turtle! I'm going to go and snuggle in my bed so I probably won't actually respond to you, but it will still super help me to know that I am not utterly alone on the wave. I don't want to tag anyone else because I don't want anyone to feel they need to respond. Thank you in advance for riding with me.

Re: Riding a wave

I hope you are okay @Phoenix_Rising. It really is hard to ride the wave alone in the world. Feeling for you

I'm sorry to hear that X is happening tomorrow @Phoenix_Rising. Even without needing details I can hear that it's a very hard thing to happen. I am also "there" even though I can't be "here", and might be doing some silent child's pose or dreamer's pose in the forum yoga studio if you'd like to join in.

Re: Riding a wave

I want to say I am here but you know that and I know that is not the same at all as being actually there. So I too will just sit here once I have said this bit.

There have been so many days and nights when I wished there was someone there with you too. When I wished that I could be there. Tonight I am feeling it the strongest I've felt it. My sadness thinking of this tonight would be the tiny teeniest bit of yours and it is painful. I can't imagine what tonight is like @Phoenix_Rising. There are no words that are working for me tonight.

Re: Riding a wave

Super big thank you for being out on the ocean tonight @TheVorticon @Former-Member @Zoe7 (on your rock stack) and @CheerBear.

This is SO HARD. I am eternally grateful for Forum Land and for the long-suffering moderators - even the baby ones who need lessons in speaking turtle.

Today is hard, and tomorrow will be hard, and the weekend will be hard and each day for quite a while will be hard. But they will get easier if I can just keep staying alive.

Super big thank you for caring about me.

@Former-Member you will watch over the ocean tonight? Tonight is super super super hard Rockpool.
