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

Do you have a story suggestion @CheerBear or @Former-Member? If we pick a story and then I will settle for the night on my pause button.

Re: Riding a wave

I will head to the bookshelf and look through it and wait to see whether @Former-Member has one also. I loved your book choice last time bookish ☺

Re: Riding a wave

I don't have any new ones tonight, @Phoenix_Rising and @CheerBear. I know lots of good stories, but I'm way too fussy about narrators when I'm trying to find YouTube videos.

I like the crayon stories, especially the second one. (By the way, the colour of the sun really IS hot.)

I'm glad you liked the bear story, @CheerBear.

Re: Riding a wave

I'm so fussy about narrators also @Former-Member. The book I wanted to share doesn't seem to be easy to find. It is called Scruffy Bear and The Six White Mice. Puffer fish and I read Piranhas Don't Eat Bananas tonight @Phoenix_Rising. Short but cute 🙂

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear and @Former-Member it sounds like I will need to explore...or I could just listen to the crayon stories and the gruffalo.

I will try to go to sleep on my pause button now. At least this time next week I won't be on my pause button anymore. I so so SO can't wait for NikNik to get home.

I miss CherryBomb. I miss her SO much. I feel scared that Forum Land is never going to be what it was when CherryBomb was watching over it in the evenings.

Night.

Re: Riding a wave

Brains aren't made to be put on pause. My world keeps getting darker and darker.

I do not matter,
I'm only one person,
Destroy me completely,
Then throw me away.

Re: Riding a wave

@Phoenix_Rising - you do matter. My dark days are often less so for knowing you & reading your posts. The world needs you to be around. Although you say you don't like change, you are changing the world a little at a time, and that is an extremely important purpose.
