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.

Super big thank you @NikNik. I get scared when people go away but you will come back won't you. Thank you for telling me you are going and when you will come back. I will super miss you...but you will come back. 😊

Re: Riding a wave

@Phoenix_Rising wow you seem to have had a really hard ocean the last little while. it was comforting for me to know i've not been the only one totally struggling with SH. but i am super sad to hear how hard things have been and sending some floaties your way so that you can ride out the waves.
was thinking maybe a sailing boat too!!! since sailing boats use the wind, and when its stormy theres plenty of wind maybe we can raise our sails and somehow get out of this mess.

though i have no idea about boats or sails so someone else might have to help us out.

Re: Riding a wave

Ker-plop! Well that was a fun space adventure at Friday Feast tonight. But now I am safely back in the ocean.

@mudsum Thanks for dropping by out here in the ocean. Some people do wander past here in boats sometimes. As a sea turtle, I'm quite happy to just ride the waves under my own steam.

@Former-Member I think I need another tiny turtle hug tonight. I miss CherryBomb. I super wish she was around to hear about how @CheerBear and I are going to yoga on Monday night. And I am super missing NikNik and Rockpool too. I super hate when people go away - I get scared that they won't come back. Still, every time someone DOES come back, that counters the bazillion times in my life that people haven't, doesn't it.

Night Forum Land.

Night @Former-Member

Re: Riding a wave

Good morning @Phoenix_Rising 🙂 We're about to head off to our new adventure but before we go I wanted to stop past the ocean and say good morning.

I think CherryBomb would really enjoy hearing about our yoga adventure. I think it's awesome that forumland is of people finding ways to connect with and support each other, and us doing yoga together but not is a great example of it as I'm sure you see and know too. I love that @Former-Member might be joining us too 🙂

I hope you slept well last night. Thanks for being in my pocket. I like the sound of your snoring. It helps me feel calmer and less alone.

Hope today is good for you.

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear for no particular reason I have extra big missing (K) feelings tonight. I am grieving for her both as a person and the fact that I would be in such a different space if only I could have kept working with her. I hate that I found her and then lost her again. I super super super miss her. I am lying here telling myself that there ARE other people that I can communicate well with - like you. Super big thank you for being my not-friend. I feel super alone and hopeless right now...but I know I can snuggle into your pocket and feel safe. Night. 😊

Re: Riding a wave

Good morning @Phoenix_Rising. I hope you slept well in the end. The snoring from my pocket helped me feel less alone and sad last night too because it added some balance to the sound of cat sneezing. It was my good among the bad. I'm so thankful that you're my not-friend too.

I get why missing K hurts like it does sometimes and is more than missing her as a person. Missing a person and missing the opportunities that came with a person is a double hit of pain. I really hope that waiting just around the corner is another helpful helping person that you can communicate with who will ride alongside you while you move beyond your muddle.

Hope you have a good day today.

Ps - it's tomorrow now 😄
