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.

Sigh...another day is nearly done. Only 14 sleeps now until NikNik comes home. That seems so far away, but I know I can keep sitting on the pause button for 14 more sleeps.

This is so so so SO hard. @Former-Member @Former-Member do you think I could maybe get a "good job" or a "well done" for working so superly duperly hard at sitting on the pause button? I have a feeling that lots of people are sitting on pause buttons until NikNik gets home. It's HARD @Former-Member and @Former-Member. My brain is SO broken.

@Former-Member @CheerBear and @Zoe7, I am going to spend the night floating on my pause button out on the ocean. I think the fresh sea air will do me good. If I need to, I know where I can find you in the underwater cave. I think I just need some alone (but not really alone) time. I feel SO overwhelmed and SO lost. Drifting alone on the dark ocean feels like a good fit for me tonight.

All is well...even when it's really really not!

Night.

Ps. Making pictures is FUN @Zoe7...but I seriously need to learn some shortcuts or something. I'm sure you must be able to do this MUCH quicker than me!!!

Your picture is awesome. Sitting on a pause button is incredibly hard. It hurts. I feel it also 😞

Hope the alone (but not really alone) time feels good.

Night @Phoenix_Rising

Hi @Phoenix_Rising,

I know you are really struggling sitting on the pause button. You are doing a good job so far - you just need to keep it up for 14 more sleeps! You can do it!

You are such a wag @Phoenix_Rising

I am glad that something SOOPER HUSH HUSH you worked at for 2 years went well. I have a hunch you are a very talented lady and I'd love to meet you irl.

You managed an important grief milestone.

Proud of you lil tooortle.

It will be nice to see Niks reassuring bright yellow pic.

Sleep tight.

Trying to sleep on a pause button is so very very tricky. 😔😔😔

Re: Riding a wave

I hereby declare this night a total write-off with respect to sleep. No point lying here worrying about it. It seems that 2.15am is the time today is beginning for me.

@CheerBear @Former-Member @Zoe7

Sitting on a pause button is so so so SO hard. Thirteen sleeps to go now. I so very badly want NikNik to come home.

@CheerBear I am certain that what you just mentioned in the nest is true. You seem to be juggling two agonizingly similar muddles right now.

I am going to sleep out on the ocean again tonight. Everything feels so dark and lonely, and being out on the ocean feels right because it so much fits with my feelings. Thirteen sleeps, just thirteen sleeps. We can do this. We've got this!

Re: Riding a wave

I knew you'd get it, even without words. The fact you do makes me feel about a million times lighter and better. Thank you for being such a great not-friend @Phoenix_Rising

The ocean looks like feels right, in all its not rightness. I hope you sleep well enough.

Night

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear I am in an absolute world of pain sitting on the pause button right now. I just so very very VERY badly want NikNik to come home. By the way, do you watch The Big Bang Theory? Have you ever seen Sheldon when someone says something incorrect and he is trying really really hard not to correct them? It looks funny, but really, he is probably in intense emotional distress.

Super big thank you for being my not-friend. I super love how we can talk without talking and understand without needing to know.

Night.
