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 thankyou mate. Yes I new you were tired. Thats our connection. I will stop for lunch about 2 but only if that suits you. I trust you mate and the Lady that runs things assures me that they have an umbrella over me to stop incoming mortars. They went to some effort,

So, just need an alpha free oasis and we can do what we do best. Help pull ourselves, out of the bogs by escaping into the pages. I hope you get some rest from your worries and I will talk to you tomorrow

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 I'm so sorry Sophia are you still there. I had a little home work assignment I had to hand in to Tide is turning. I cant remember what thread she is in. It was another poem and I did send it to you, because its about you, so I really hope you received it, don't want you to think I'm unreliable, And i spelled a word wrong in it. bath is meant to be bathe. I wonder if the bosses can find a way to fix a spelling mistake in a sent poem. I'll try begging, then I'll try bribing.

so let me know please if you got my poem and you are still about. tonys mb 1

Re: Living with Ourselves

@tonys Hey tonys. Your style of writing is stagnate. Elaborate, expand, and create. I like what you say. A lot of wonderful lyrics have come from your posts.

Kind Regards

Wordman

Re: Living with Ourselves

stagnate. . . . That is an interesting word you chose. @wordman @Sophia1

To foul,, stop flowing, stand still, lie dormant. That would be a good critique to a person that was trying to write.

To someone with a reservoir of trauma who heals himself by letting a bit of that water go from time to time. . . I cant utilize it, and full throttle on sane forums. My black humour imagination and inkwell of blood, Its constant hard work for me not to expand. I come from a country torn by years of conflict and have resisted the urge to flirt on the edges of that, and I see that as good progress for me.

I do practice writing and believe me, I do more than expand, i explode.. but not on sane forums. My friend sends those embellished meat packages elsewhere thank goodness.

My attempts at true creative writing on a site where people go to with mental health problems. have had the odd adverse reaction, Unfortunately not all will self censor. So I tag the few that have told me they like my 'self therapy' writing. and I have just one that understands I too, need to crack the tap a little, and always she comes back to me.

thats all this is, finding one person who will accept the odd dripping package. and taking one from them.

Its not writing. When I feel I'm being shadowed, then a poem of just enough smoke to get them of my tail. but thin enough to let those who get my condition through.

And therapeutic release, well I don't have much say in those words that flow out. That is autism.

I don't think I put this very well, sorry mate bit linear today, but its the best I can do.

Thanks for the tips on the crows band. nice.

Take good care, and remember if you see something I pen. and you don't like or get the first three words, over the shoulder and in the bin. With the very best intentions.

Re: Living with Ourselves

OH @wordman , I forgot to ask. were you referring to the poems and letters I wrote today in the. . . .Peer group chat conquering our goals . . . thread.

I think you may enjoy exploring there, if you enjoy words and I almost come close to actual writing, in that thread. I have trouble expressing in the other threads.

I would be 'very interested ' in your thoughts owlunars reply to the poem, and the wonderful piece she wrote. Excerpt from her sonnet.

Please look after yourself . Kind thoughts tonys

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @wordman @tonys

@wordman I am surprised by your opening statement of criticism towards another’s expression of a creative mind.

Why would you do that?

Have you decided to abandon the principles of acceptance, love and caring that your religion teaches?

I am confused.

There is enough discriminating and harsh judgement in this world.

Has something happened to upset you?
