Living with Ourselves

Living with Ourselves

hello @eudemonism @eth @outlander @Bunniekins @Mazarita @Silenus @NameUnknown @Grasshopper3 @patientpatient @soul @Former-Member @Determined @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Friendconnect @Teej @utopia @Queenie @Appleblossom @Zam @perseverer @Janna @Owlunar @Former-Member @Former-Member

First of all I wanted to let you know that I have conversed with all of you at some stage on both sides of the forum..

It was my intention to close two of my threads and change my name in the kindest way for all of you...

I commenced this process on the 12th March and today is the first day that I have access to actually post or respond to anyone....I was in the last couple of days able to register a new name and like some posts...

I am so sorry that my profile ended so abruptly that was definitely not my intention....

In fact if I had done it my way.. instead of thinking would be better to be guided through the process....I would have just written on one of my threads my reason for closing my account tagging you all in....then requested account to be closed and username put to bed so to speak

I have chosen to take this path in order to protect my family's sense of safety .. privacy...health..

Please let me reassure you that this has nothing to do with any members on here...

I have tagged each and everyone of you because you have given me support and invited me into a little of your worlds...priceless experiences...I have felt heard and valued on here....Thank you all so much..

Moving forward ...this is who I am now and hope to be able to converse on the forum living in the now not the past...therefore no mention of my previous username necessary...

If you do not know who I am...that is fine also...perhaps all of the above is not relevant for you..

take care

Re: Living with Ourselves

Your feelings are real and valid @Sophia1 What we feel is very personal and although it may not be intentional from others, the way you are seeing things is your viewpoint and that is real for you. I am glad that you feel this thread is a safe place to vent and share your views - that is important for you to have a degree of trust in those here that are sharing in your journey.

You have so much going on in your life and that must all be so hard to deal with day to day. I do hope you don't need another operation but there is support here for you if you do. Back issues are debilitating and you have had more than your fair share of physical issues - I wish it wasn't the case for you.

Sending you love and hugs Hon and an ear (eyes) here if you need it

Re: Living with Ourselves

movement creates momentum; effort leads to energy

trying something might lead you down a path you hadn’t considered which might then contribute to a positive outcome you’d not imagined possible

if you’re going to be trying something it might, at times, be worth trying something completely different

sometimes you’ll surprise yourself and something great will happen!

just leaving these here for those who would like to share...

I shall find some images of places that I would love to be also...

I might not get to talk to you that often...

I do think of you though..

Imagine being in a room like that above where you could choose to walk through an opening into a new life...

which one would you choose?

Re: Living with Ourselves

Ok not the cloisters on left, right one a bit well dunno. Middle one looks interesting @Sophia1

In response to: Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

yes I could not make my mind up

@TAB

I am not drawn to the picture of the cloisters ...in real life might feel different as would be intriguing..

the middle one feels as though it is shrouded in mystery and appeals to me...

not sure about the one on the right...again would be different in real life

an interesting exercise for this bored brain laugh

am actuallly off out to a few shops walking..

something novel...see how far I get...anxiety is knocking on my door again rather too loudly.

have a calming day @TAB

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 I’m immediately drawn to the middle one, it looks like water. Water has always been a calming place for me, ironic when I live inland in what is starting to be a drought for us.

@Sophia1

I love it, thank you so much Sophia.

I was going to choose the left doorway, but I pictured it leading to a Castle. I love Castles, yet it may represent to me, a Mansion that is BIG has every need met there, yet its cold & like a prison, that I can not leave, for some strange reason? Hmmm

The Doorway in the centre, is a real NO, for me, looks like a dangerous place that I will never survive, as in drown there. Bad vibes there, for me. I have taken too many dangerous doorway in my life, without knowing the signs, I know them now though!

The Doorway to the right, looks to me like a garden, with birds & animals there. If I keep walking through it, I feel in my gut, that it will lead to happiness, security, peace, & healing. With someone special waiting for me in a beautiful house, that I have wanted in my heart all my life. Where myself, & my Fur Babies, can be at last secure, loved, & safe! I must keep my Faith!! xo

Love & Hugs!
