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

@Sophia1 Thanks for your message. ♥ Sorry to hear of current crises with older son. Hope that resolves soon. Understand why you are unable to be here much right now. Please take care. Talk again when you're able to. Sending love and care in the meantime.

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @tonys you didn't go away did you?

You said I could write to you. I'm writing. I hope I get a reply. If not, hope you are well & looking after my babies. I kinda think you have to let me visit one day now. Maddison with 2 different colour eyes.. It's a sign - she wants to meet her namesake.

As for the men...... ? Yes, please tell me more. What do the men do & want? If it is the women weaving...

And why do you say that it's probably better you didn't have a family? More people to hurt you & let you down? The animals don't do that, do they. I am only guessing your reasons. I have wondered myself if a true loving family exists. I think it does?

I realised today - I own at least 3 long black dresses. I was remembering it as Navy blue. I got in the car & surprised myself that it was yet another black dress. I thought of you.

I'm fluttery & hyped at the moment. Need to focus. Oh ..I know what it is. I was up early this morning - so my day is too long. I have 2 or 3 hours extra.

I eat, I'm not hungry anymore. I think I lost weight. My dress was way roomier. Might weigh myself. Probably not. Maybe.

I think that's most of everything my brain is saying.

Now what do I do?

Oh..I have tea.

I'm running to give you a hug❤️

May you have peace my friend.

Re: Living with Ourselves

hey there @maddison midnight again.... that time when its neither yesterday, nor tomorrow , wish i could just park here a little while longer and enjoy the view and listen to the sounds of the dark. How was your day

mate. Did your shop for a million pictures till you found one that would sill my waters..

Well you found it my friend. The river is a flawless mirror tonight. I dont have to look up to see the stars. like fire flies sleeping on an alabaster lake.

Tell me what else you did today mate. I just let the tractor lull me to sleep . Its known me long enough. It knows where to sew the seeds, and to find its way home.

You never said much about "waiting" Hope you wont let it get lonely. I hope it filled you.

Ive posted a lookout on a distant hill, waiting for you to unfold a little more mind and float it

to me.

sleep peacefully my friend.......... and dream. tonys moon base one

Re: Living with Ourselves

Waiting made me feel bad about myself @tonys I didn't like that mentioned a prostitute & other things. I didn't know if you were making fun of me. It made the women sound like victims. I thought it was really rough & cutting. The ending was positive but I don't know why so much bad was before it. And the ending didn't sound legit. It sounded like another joke. It made me angry & sad.

And why don't you answer my questions?

You sit on top of your hill, with your magnificent view of the stars & me down here.

Other times, you lift me up & help me & say you are there for me. I feel like you are up high & I am down low.

Why don't you tell me about the poem I wrote about being Mesmerised - you never talked about that?

Re: Living with Ourselves

@maddison Hello again my friend. I always seem to find another post from you just after ive sealed the envelope...

What do men want you ask .. Mate , .. apart from more power !!! i really wish i knew

I used to go to the pub when i was young. The men eyes glued to the footy, my eyes, just watching the men. Every time a fight broke out, they would be out of their chairs primeval, growls, hyper exited, male bonding ,.. tribal ,.....nothings changed. Its just the coliseum, ........ franchised. As the alcohol takes effect , the group dynamics evolve , week antelope ,prayed upon. A pecking order established.

Me , liked to thumb coins into the juke box and ask myself, surely this cant be all there is

Lucky i was just a window pane, and a big one at that. What does that make me. Different ................ autistic

And then there are the endless ques of admirers drawn to these "bad boys" , carrying their suit cases and bruised faces from one to the next. what do men want ...... when you find out .... tell me.. ... Now i do know , not all men are like this, but there seems to be such an over supply of alpha males , well , buy now your sorry you asked , and ive said way to much..

Fluttery and hyped you say, I like it when you are like that, A neatly raked pile of leaf's scattered by a dust devil, Chaos reveals more art than order, welcome it, reap from it

As for your questions about love. they deserve another letter on there own and a better glass of wine than tonight's. Thankyou for running to me and giving me that hug , I iove your letters...

long black dress twirls in a spin ..... endlessly searching for what lies within.

Re: Living with Ourselves

@maddison I'm sorry that was your interpretation of it. My life, has been' rough and cutting'.

Each person in that poem was some one, or like real people I new , especially the street worker, .... I'm the one that found her. !

You asked me about my locks and what's under them so I unlocked one to you.

I cried writing it...... No mate,..... i dont joke about things like that....

I guess my locks, are best left alone.

Mesmerized... I'm sorry if my letter on that didnt find you.....

I am a bit taken aback ,.... mesmerized.. best i go , and i wish you peace Tonys mb1

Re: Living with Ourselves

@maddison Now i am confused , I don't have any ones number , and would hope sane instantly deleted if one was posted. people meet in this place because it is meant to be a safe place to share and support. You have shaken me a bit mate.

I will stay off the site till sane gets in touch. wish you only peace tonys
