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

You are always so kind and caring @Sophia1

Good to hear you’re accepting yourself as you are. Take care of yourself. I’m short on words again. Not feeling well today. 💖🌸🌺🌷

Re: Living with Ourselves

Always nice to hear from you @HenryX

Short note is good. 😀

Mine are always short.
It would be interesting to meet in person. It would be lovely to meet others as well. But unfortunately that will never happen.
Raining again today, not that I mind. Will be a quiet day today. Not feeling great. Hoping your day goes well. 😊🌻🌼

@Sophia1 I will write more another time, when I’m feeling better. 🤗

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hey @Former-Member Always good to see you around, though we have not had big "chats".

@Emelia8 Fingers crossed you get what you need.

@Sophia1

Hugs.

Now having posted about hairdressers, I am confronted with idea I should "present" myself for gigs with a small local band. So confusing. Put it on the back burner. Mostly I has glad to be a teacher, or a leader, or lost in choral crowd, but not been an entertainer. Anyway if it is for good causes, as this project could be, it can be a new challenge for me. Get my "professional" "appearance' act together. We will see....It might be best for my son that I am less available and he sees me busy engaged with worthwhile things. This week we played some lovely music together. So proud of him. That can still be done whenever he asks, within reason. I will always have time for that kind of thing.

@HenryX Yes I have affection for you and @Emelia8 and @Sophia1

For a while I was often hoping behind the scenes that I would eventually "meet" the people who I had connected with on here. As time has gone on, and people come and go, I am more accepting that it may never happen.

This year I will be busier with different projects, so will probably limit time on the forums. I think I have given it a lot of time, and it will be close to my heart and mind, regardless of how much I read or post here. I put an application for school, and there are other music and sustainability possibilities in the offing ...

Hello @Appleblossom @Emelia8 @Former-Member @Anastasia @Krishna @Bunniekins @Shaz51 @outlander @BlueBay @Clawde @TAB @MDT (have you changed you name again? is this a test laugh? I am not doing that well)

@NatureLover @Eve7 @Bow @RedHorse @Adge @HenryX @Oaktree @Zoe7 @Exoplanet

@Jynx @Daisydreamer (thank you for your kind words)

@Jynxstill have not had time to get to meme or whatever it is called thread..

so many more my brain hurts and will not let the names flow.

If I have left you off it is not intentional please

I am only uptodate with Emelia at present

Please forgive me.

I am of no use to anybody on here at the moment anyway.

I am taking further time away

Son hospitalised again in acute services...

Am having to basically advocate for him with every single being whom he encounters.

He is angry with me.

Everything is topsy turvy...painful...blech as those of you who have been down this track personally or supporting someone know..

So huge hugs to each and one even bigger than big group bear hug..

hold on tight....feel it...remember it..

Sophia the Lion is roaring
