Re: Taking the plunge

I would do the same @CheerBear . Collect info, then think, think and think some more.

The ‘ real’ needs to be heard too. Sometimes it’s scary, and we can search for info to make the ‘real’ not. If you get what I’m trying to say. 🤔🤔🤔 Kind of sabotage stuff. But I might be way off track.

You don’t need more info, so I’ll sit with the ‘ real’. 💜💛💙❤️💚

Some pull is sounding positive. He obviously believes in you. That in itself is massive. 👍👍👍

Re: Taking the plunge

Totally hearing the self-sabotage vs real idea @Maggie and not off track at all. It's super tricky. Am I now trying to prove this won't work and quit before I give it a chance? Is it better to find reasons it's not real rather than hope it is? What is real and not? Lol. Yay for complex human-ness.

Your cave paintings are absolutely beautiful 😍😍😍 Stunning! All so different. Thank you so much for sharing them ❤

Complex human ness @CheerBear . Nothing simple eh.

I so understand what you are working through. Hope the ‘ real’ wins.

Thankyou for liking them @CheerBear . I don’t have confidence in stuff, especially after a paver disaster. Canvases sell faster, so that’s where I’m at.

When you find an answer to what is real and not, please let me know. I’m sure the rest of the human race would be fascinated.....and hopeful.

I hope you can just rest in what you have ‘ now’. Enjoy the gift. You DO deserve it. ❤️💜💙💚

They really are beautiful @Maggie. I think it's brave to put yourself out there when you've had a confidence blow. It's a little act of "shhh" to the voices inside us that are often way harsher on ourselves than anyone else is.

I wonder if any of us really ever find an answer to real or not 🤔 What I have right now (in this relationship) is connection and acceptance. That's enough ❤

I've got some stuff to tidy up and kids to keep chill so I better fly. I hope there's some good in your day 🌈

Re: Taking the plunge

Gee @Maggie totally agree with @CheerBear in that your 'cave art' is really beautiful. Dont let your self confidence take a hit from your (self assessed) paver disaster. Personally I loved it too. You have so much artistic talent. Sorry you havent heard back about your newspaper letter. That sort of thing can really play with your mind. It would mine I know.

Lots of really important major stuff happening in your life right now @CheerBear .. scary yes, but also very exciting. May everything go well for you in work and study prospects, and matters of the heart.

I have started back on my diamond painting again this week. Lots still to do though. It took a back seat when my anxiety made me to shaky to persevere with it. Really hot here for the weekend, so definitely indoor stuff needed. Likely lots of rain next week, and much cooler ... bring it on.
