@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.
Then the stuckness is where I will sit and wait with you until it's not stuckness anymore @Phoenix_Rising. We don't stay stuck forever. We might constantly return to stuck, but we unstick sometimes too. We're super great at unsticking from stuckness. We do it together but not often.

Re: Riding a wave
And here is the closed purple umbrella being held out to you little turtle while you are waiting stuck in the quicksand ..... I think the handle part will be easier to hold ont9 with your flippers .... so I will hold the pointy end ..... and everybody else here can hold the pointy end along with me .... and we can help to hold you in the quicksand until you can talk you way back out of it .....

Rockpool has checked in via email. I just wanted to let you know so if I disappear for a while, that's where I am. @Zoe7@CheerBear

*Zoe sneaks quietly into the underwater cave and leaves a little something for little turtle then sneaks out quietly again*
Now this will only unlock one part of the Super Secret Nutella Stash @Phoenix_Rising but I am quite happy for you to eat everything that it unlocks and I will ration out the rest in equal parts over the next three weeks (with another super secret stash hidden on the side for emergencies).

I'm watching over the ocean tonight @Phoenix_Rising. Just keep riding out these big waves and tomorrow will be a new day

I'm snuggled up to a clown fish who wanted to come into my bed now @Phoenix_Rising. I will be here even if I am not, and my pocket is there and open if you'd like it.
Tonight has been so hard and I hope it feels better for having been able to talk with Rockpool.
Goodnight my not-friend. I super like you, exactly as you are.
