Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 beautiful Sophia take care ❤️

Hello dear @Sophia1 ... I always look forward to your posts. And thank you so much for your lovely post to me. My apologies for not responding properly to you for some time now. Its not for lack of wanting to, but more a case of everything feeling like its too much of an effort for me of late. Yes my dear little Holly is sticking by me, when she knows I need her the most, though she is clearly unwell. Poor baby. Yes I am able to leave the house for medical appointments, it is painful and an effort, but something that must be done.

I wish for better times for you, in so many areas of your life. I'm sorry life is so hard for you right now. Sending hugs.

I note you are asking for sweet @Clawde s thread. Hi @Clawde my friend. 🌹

To my knowledge Clawde only has the one thread, which is here:

everyone with whom I have ever interacted with and of course forgotten...apologies...

someone help me out here please...

thank you all each and every one of you for your kind words of support; your encouragement; laughs; fun; cheek; quirkiness, time spent responding and or conversing with me.

means so very much..

You are all so lovely as you are..

I read so often of doubts about self and not fitting in.. (Yes I have been there and done that too among with millions of people all over the world)

Be you.

It is you whom we are so fond of; feel comfortable with; appreciate; like...yes like..

love hearing from..

love your company..

feel for you when you are struggling and feel helpless that we cannot make it go away because we just cannot..

I have grown up my whole life not fitting in.

I am now so happy that I do not...fit in..

I love being different...

I am learning through so very much hard work...many years of therapy...

many bouts of whatever..

no diagnoses in this story...

to like who I am and love myself...

I am giving.... the too much love that I have always felt I have...( which has made me different and feel that something is wrong with me)..

that love I am giving to me..

I already give so much to others...

I do not want to fit in with people I do not enjoy the company of..

with people who bore me to tears...

many trying to be like others...where does the like others end? sheep

Embrace your difference....

Be you always....

you will never be perfect or meet someone perfect or have a perfect life...

you will attract other different people to you when they see this emanate from you...

your body language will change..

you will smile without reason..

you will say hello and smile at strangers...

my younger son is like me and he feels the same..in his thinking

we are similar in some ways and very different in others...

of course..

we are we..

not everyday...

this is not a novel or some new musical play..

it can be part of a new life though...

I am taking time out again..

I have too much trauma coming at me again from different directions...

the biggest...monumental boulder about my son and

THE SYSTEM

I am going to write something on the worry room.

Therefore you have a choice not to read it ...

That is my wish

I want you all to think of me as being me.....different...

leave me something if you don't mind for me to pop in and see..

This is my gift to you..

My declaration of friendship always, no matter where no matter when...

remember me in this way please...

❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎💖💗💓💞💕❣💔🤍💘💝💟➕

Just reading your message now @Sophia1

@Sophia1 I’ve always seen you as the most caring and understanding person. 🤗

 @Sophia1 💖

Big hugs snd love your way @Sophia1

♥️♥️🤗🤗 xxoo

take care

@Sophia1 what makes us human is that we are each individual, we are influenced by family and environment but we make our own choices. be proud of your son, that he is an individual, that he thinks for himself and that he chooses his own path.

i hope you can work your way through these recent problems, you are a strong person, never feel ashamed to reach out, people here care for you and are listening, if you ever need to chat just send out a message.

hugs my dear friend, stay strong

Jacques

@Sophia1 Please remember we are here for you hon. through the good times and bad times.

Sitting with you my friend 💕

you are always so kind to me my beautiful friend @Sophia1 i don't feel i am smart, i feel like i am the opposite, learning so many different things has come from nessity, i could not afford to get other people to help me so i had to learn, i don't regret anything, learning has been amazing and has helped me feel more confident doing things around the house, but my house is as far as it will ever go.

please don't feel embaressed about your greenhouse, i have adapted an old gazebo to a greenhouse, just covered with shade cloth, not pretty but it does the job. we don't need fancy things to have a garden, just passion and the feeling of joy of nature.

im so so glad you are venturing out again and going to the park, yes snakes are bad this time of year, we get red belly black snakes and brown snakes where i live, because it is rural they can really grow to big numbers, i had one try to bite my car tire on christmas day. i know COVID is scary, it is for mum and i too, i always tell mum we wear masks and wash our hands, that is all we can do, if we get it we get it, we have taken all precautions that is all one can do. we need to live life to some extent, diseases as you have mentioned have been around us since cave man days, and im sure we will have future diseases we will need to manage, stay safe my friend, enjoy the little things in life and find happyness in nature and family.

hugs

Jacques
