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

Hello @Krishna

Thank you for taking the time to share such beautiful thoughts.

Your expressing how much my responses and being in touch with each other meant to you comes at a time when I am in crisis mode over my son.

I feel absolutely devastated and your words bring comfort.

Time out is paramount when recognising is best outcome for yourself..

Will think of you when in my garden..

Have not been able to get out there past few days due to current situation..

It will be there waiting for me and I will reward my beautiful plants with a drink and feelings of gratitude..

I hope that if you do not read this physically...cosmically you know that I appreciate our friendship..

all the best moving forward..

pop back and say hello when you can..

if I am here...not on my own break I will get back to you

Spaces in between friendship messages are all the stronger when so sincere

love to you and your life moving forward

💚

Re: Living with Ourselves

dear @Appleblossom

I have been madly searching for a response that you wrote somewhere about friendship and acceptance.

It was beautifully written and perhaps hard to say

Then what means so much to us often can be so hard to say

I cannot find it anywhere

I want to thank you for seeing me in that light and telling me that you know that I am sincere in our ongoing long term friendship

growing more and more no matter how long breaks occur in between as we deal with everything that life throws at us.

It is and honour to have you as my friend and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful words

Bella

love Sophia xx

coloured hearts today is my latest whim

💜💙💚💛🧡❤🤎

Seven for the number of years that we have perhaps known one another, taking into account my former name.

Re: Living with Ourselves

You are so so kind dear @Sophia1 I don't see those qualities in myself, I guess that is depression.

Until my girlfriend came along no woman has ever shown any interest in me, I never thought I would find anyone who loves me. Sometimes it is still a shock, I don't know what she sees in me, I feel like a unemployed, lazy, poor, loser. That is what I have always been told I am. I guess over the past 30 years I have started to believe it.

You, my mum and my girlfriend are the only ones that have said nice things about me. In time I will believe I am worthy of respect. It will just take time.

Sorry to be so bleak, just how my life has been up until now.

I have a quirky sense of humour it puts some people off, I do enjoy a good joke or meme. Maybe we could start a joke pages for people to have a good laugh.

I hope your weekend is going well my dear friend.

Hugs

Jacques

@Sophia1

Tears. Thank you Bella.

Not many words. We have our sons.

You have helped me connect with my inner feminine which had been damaged a lot.

I am more confortable with it now.

Today I spent time with a very old friend who is also a very rough diamond. Still it matters that I know her family from when they/we were in primary school. We had not seen each other for over a year. She knows she is hard nut, but she is hard working one, and I told her she had dignity of a self made woman. She is not used to such words, but I hope it helped.

@Jacques

You are worthy of decent relationships. We love you here.
