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.

Seriously big time thinking of you right now @Phoenix_Rising. Here even though I am not, and hearing and feeling.

I'm logging off for the night now @Phoenix_Rising. Before I do though I wanted to remind you that I am not planning on going anywhere. I'm right here and will be right here even when I am not. It doesn't make up for the hurt though.

Thinking of you tonight (and often).

Night

Re: Riding a wave

Hi @Phoenix_Rising,

I can hear that you are hurting so badly and that waves a huge at the moment. I can imagine that this must have come as a shock and I am sorry to be leaving so abruptly. I will really, really miss Forum Land.

Thank you welcoming me into Forum Land all of those months ago, helping me learn the ropes and introducing me to different Forumites. I have really enjoyed meandering my way around and watching over the ocean.

Please take care,

River9

Re: Riding a wave

Yay for being utterly traumatised and having a soul that has died - I can't feel a thing. Of course, I can't actually think or do anything constructive or do much of anything except lie on my bed, but I also can't feel anything. Feeling nothing is better than feeling something. Good job brain for shutting down.

How can so many nice caring helping people do SO MUCH harm? The wrongness of the wrong has utterly destroyed me.

Those who have power have no understanding, and those who have understanding have no power. And thus I fear the world will never ever change.

Re: Riding a wave

Morning @Phoenix_Rising. Calling by to remind you that the pocket crew and I are sitting in the bigness with you. We also have the company of another baby dragon from 10 minutes ago who I wanted to introduce to you today as she's the pink and yellow pattern one you shared a couple of weeks ago. I'll add her to a corner over there ➡️ later but I had a feeling she could be used here this morning too.

I'm sorry your soul has died 🙁 I have the same fear about the world changing.

I hope your TTT eve (I think that's today?) has something that is right in it.

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear you, the pocket crew, and our new baby dragon are the something that is right.
