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

@tonys I found both purple & red hair dye in my collection. Now to research photos on the interwebs how I want to mix them. Maybe one colour on top & the blending the ends into next colour..... Or I might do streaks if both..??

Exciting.

Photos to come - if it doesn't break any anonymity rules.

Thinking of you & wanting good things for us all❤️💜

Re: Living with Ourselves

@maddison hooray....... I finally found the purple chicken...... and it was worth the hunt...

So you may have to hide your face with a ' some thing or other' , to show me your hair when its done....... this could just be your finest work ..... i still can't copy and paste yet. attaching pictures and links ,,,,,,, its still a bridge too far. and besides , i saw what happened in that movie , The fly........ It will be a while before i trust this computor. Did you google that story about it raining gem stones on Jupiter. I know it sounds like something i made up , but its actually true. I really hope the clouds are parting for you a bit Maddison, I have my eyes down days to , you know,.... no eye contact,... light, sound, and feelings plugs, all pulled, Then i'll think about something in one of your letters, The big old door protests on its rusty hinges as it opens, and light comes spilling in...... Theres no perfect life,.... There's just life. ....... Fields of flowers and rose petal showers,.... Tonys moonbase one.

Tonys moon base one,..... try saying that three time quick..

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hey @tonys

Oh I'm glad you found the purple chicken. Computers & technology..I don't know .. It's all a mysterious magic. In fact, first thing that happened in lawyers office yesterday when I sat down was him apologising to me because he was learning the new system that had been updated!

So, I have lots of jobs to do, take out rubbish, pet chores.... I'm surviving off 4 hrs sleep. My brain wasn't able to rest last night. All this new information.. how many 'implications'. What is my best move now?

I thought, I will quickly stop by at tonys now & say hello.

I cannot say how long this ray will shine. It is the first glimpse I have seen in what feels like a very muddy, heavy dark time.

I think maybe by taking action & educating myself I feel like I have slightly more control & power. People cannot intimidate me so much, because now I have a good understanding of the facts. I liked the lawyer too. Maybe he was unscrupulous.. Who knows? What I saw was a man who knew what he was talking about, explained things well, appeared reasonable, impartial & neutral.

I think the other thing that is good for me is that I learnt I can do these things. I can look out for myself. I know if & when I get in trouble in future, that there ARE resources (& people ❤️) who I can employ to support me.

Getting back to more serious things now - raining gems on Jupiter, you say? I can't stop giggling about this one.

At first I thought you made it up!

I decided the hair colour of choice will be cherry red. Maybe later in the week🍒

It made me sad to read of your eyes down days. It's ok. Thankyou for sharing with me. If my letters help you see a tiny lighthouse on those days, it's an honour xx

Re: Living with Ourselves

So nice! Hello @Former-Member I'm going ok. It has been super difficult. Support & friendly hello's are so precious. Hope you & 🐈 are good. Thankyou for the support you & the other PSW give to all of us xx ❤️

Re: Living with Ourselves

@maddison ❤️ big hugs. We're here ❤️

The kitty cats are good. Lacey (my Tuxedo) needs surgery on one of her knees. Poor thing has had a bung knee for a few months and it isn't getting better :'(

But otherwise I'm just holding out for a break ❤️

In response to: Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

Oh no. Poor Lacey. So stressful& difficult with animals, they can't tell us what hurts and we can't explain things like the vet & operations. Great parent skills noticing Lacey needed your help😻 My 3 cats are good. I gave one a brush today, to cheer her up & give attention. The other cat hears the brush from the other room & comes running. Then they both demand to be brushed - & each look at me bewildered if I brush the other. They are so cute.

Yep, a break sounds beyond wonderful!

Thankyou @Former-Member

Re: Living with Ourselves

@maddison . In my next life im coming back as one of your cats,... i hope..... Its so very good to hear you sounding a little better.. Sounds like the silk you hired is well intentioned, and in your corner. Sparks of light, the promise of hope, in your letter. Smiles are contagious aren't they.... May your sleep bring you peace, embraced in magical dreams. Tonys moonbase one
