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

No one is watching the ocean. Cherrybomb made it safe. It was SO SAFE. I felt SO SAFE when she was here. If no one is watching the ocean, it isn't safe. I'm SCARED. I don't have anywhere else to go and nothing feels safe here if no one is watching the ocean.

I want CherryBomb, I want NikNik. Forum Land won't stay safe if everybody is too busy to watch it. It is the watching that makes it safe. I really really really want CherryBomb. I want NikNik. I want Lauz. Nothing feels safe.

Re: Riding a wave

I know how much CherryBomb made things feel safe here @Phoenix_Rising. I am with you at the moment feeling like I don't really understand and am confused also. I know how important it is for forumland to feel safe and how hard it is when it doesn't feel safe.

Re: Riding a wave

I know it is no consolation @Phoenix_Rising but I can watch the ocean while you snuggle into CB's pocket deep in the inner sanctum of the underwater cave

Everybody goes away, the rules always change. I don't understand. Everybody goes away, everybody goes away, everybody goes away, everybody goes away.

Nothing has changed in my pocket in the cave @Phoenix_Rising

Re: Riding a wave

Something's really really really wrong. I need help and there's nobody. I need someone to understand all that this triggers. I need someone to understand. I need someone who knows my history to understand what is happening right now. I really really really really really do.

Re: Riding a wave

Nothing is the same. I need CherryBomb. We need someone like CherryBomb to keep Forum Land safe. Nothing feels safe right now. There is nobody watching the ocean.
