I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A/OR, FRIEND/FRIENDS, WHO I CAN TRUST, PLEASE?
I'm new, & I am very supportive of others, understanding, & kind. I hate strife & arguing, & I can not be around people that yell, or are controlling. I get anxious, & they make me feel afraid, or wanting to protect myself. I think I'm too soft hearted, yet I am intelligent & strong, unless I get fearful. I am very isolated due to physical pain, from an accident I had, years ago.....Does that make sense, I hope so?

You are blessed kato, to have family that love you, & can help you. I was very busy 5 years ago with work, & friends. I'm no social butterfly. Yet I love to talk to, & listen to, people. I have chronic pain, which I take meds that help a little. I have a lot of healthy energy, which I can not use in the right way, due to body damage. This fact causes me emotional pain, as well as physical pain. Lately I have felt depressed, for many reasons. I am working on what I can do to help my body to heal. I'm not going to give in to negativity. As I've come too far, to turn back now! ((((((Kato))))))) 🙂

Yes i am blessed, and even tho they had to learn a whole lot of things, that they were not prepared to hear about me, they did take it well.
Chronic pain, would certainly affect emotional pain, is there a way to channel your healhy energy into tasks that do not cause too much discomfort, maybe drawing/painting or writing, to help keep the energy flowing?
It sounds like you have really come along way in your journey, and i like your stand point of not letting negativity get in your way 🙂
Stay strong and the path will help guide you 🙂

Hi @Former-Member,
you sound really strong and have a great attitude towards your healing. I looove birds, they have so much personality. I love all animals really though, i used to have a bit of a menadgerie, but down to two cats and 4 love birds now. Before i had kids I had an olive python who used to roam about the house, her name was cuddles I sold her as my ex was terrified of her hehe. I would love to get a dog again but hard as I'm renting. What animals do you have?
Cheers
LJ

Hi @Former-Member I live in a rental unit and I'm not allowed a pet, but they've let me keep invertebrates (bugs). So I have stick insects, tarantulas and scorpions, hence the Crazy_Bug_Lady title. ☺ Yeah, people eat insects, but I figure people eat meat too, so...

Hi @Crazy_Bug_Lady and @Former-Member I read an article about sustainable food resources and bugs were one of the solutions to global hunger and starvation! they're incredibly healthy to eat with high protein and trace minerals because of what they eat. Not sure i'm ready to jump on the bandwagon for my daily meal but i have eaten Jilla Jilla (Pitjantjara for honey ants) and Maku (witchety grubs) and they were ok lol.

Thanks @Former-Member - Its a bird of paradise. I watched a show on them, and I went to Papua New Guinea when I was younger - their national bird.
I like your photo too.

Bird of Paradise, now that sounds wonderful. Stunning looking bird, even tho I can only see the wing feathers. I love all of GOD'S creations, well most of them. 🙂 I don't like some bugs awwah Bug Lady may read this? Stick bugs look funny, I really don't like spiders, & scorpions. Unless they are trained to go fetch! I think I'm a tad cheeky today. My name is a nick name a friend gave me. My photo is one I've always been drawn to. I like fantasy, the fairy angel makes me smile. I suppose I would like to be like her deep down, but I don't think I am. She looks content & at peace, so there for she looks stunning to me, and she has wings to fly away from anything, & to any where she chooses with ease. 🙂

WOW! I'm glad I already ate my dinner!! I think if I had to eat bugs.......I don't think I could!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a vegetarian because I love animals far too much to eat them. I don't love bugs, but I love myself far too much to put a bug in my mouth &... oh my goodness, looks like I will be eating the tree the bugs lived on. eeeewwwwwh! 😉

I think you are very brave to have, spiders, & scorpions. Stick bugs are funny looking I have held some many years ago when on holidays with my parents. They are masters of camouflage very amazingly made! I will not be making beetle juice in the near future tho, or any future. Baked Beatles, in cheese & tomato sauce, instead of baked beans, on my toast??? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo please! 🙂
