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 @Jacques

Thinking of you and hoping that you might be busy working on the house or the garden or even your super bike...

Letting you know that you are important and if you are struggling remind yourself that I am thinking of you. Supporting you silently.

Only reply when you have the energy and time. Plus wanting to of course laugh.

Take care friend

Sophia

Hello @TAB

I would hazard a guess that most of us on here are too hard on ourselves.

You are human.

Find things that you enjoy about the work in progress.

I am sure that you have plans...ideas....projects...

Enjoy the process leading up to achieving them.

You are shaping your very own home

Take care friend

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hi @Sophia1 my beautiful friend,

im so sorry for the late reply, i have been so buggered of a night, been fixing mums car, painting, working on the bike fixing a broken main water pipe. just everything went wrong last week so i was flat out.

still waiting for what is happening with mum, the dr is hoping to find a doctor closer to us as sydney is over 6 hours away. so i hope she can find a doctor that is flying into our local hospital or who is closer to us.

my pigs faces looked amazing this year, i will post a photo for you below.

my plants are starting to recover, i think it was the speed that summer came around, we went from winter to summer and missed spring.

yes i remember your gardener you told me about him a few moths back, it must make things much easier and help you really enjoy the garden looking amazing.

yes, i have a really good mental health care team around me now, they are seeing me monthly and they are sending me for testing for autism as they think i may be on the spectrum. which would explain a lot as to why i am not normal.

awe yes i am a self confessed nerd, im so sorry you are unable to speak with your son, it must hurt so so much. hugs my friend. it sounds like him and i would have a great time chatting about computers and electronics.

no your replies are not too long, they put a smile on my face, i really enjoy chatting here, it is nice to talk about things we have in common.

lots of hugs my friend. hope you are well.

Re: Living with Ourselves

Thankyou for writing to me @Sophia1 Time is precious and you find it for your old friends when you can. Thats no small thing. Yes I remember the time we shared that hot summer you fending the sun of struggling plants in your care. And the tree. Then there was a frosty tall drink with a stranger.

I, like you have a certain depth to my waters friend. Helps me see the lines, and the cracks between the lines. Subs cruise quietly below those.

You need never worry about betrayal. As well you know, Its not in my word bag or nature. Think I once said to you. . You could rob a bank and I would always be at your shoulder and in your service.

The forrums are big. Mapping clouds would be a lesser task. Lots of peaceful folk reaching hands out to other peaceful folk. Your right. I love running free here. Its easy to loose track, miss a post, a wave , a smile, a cry for help. We do what we can. . . and what we must, and the rest we do better in our next life.

Everything maters, hey mate. sooner or later. It matters.

I carry pieces of a puzzle in my pocket. one day I will find where they fit.

Very best wishes for you @Sophia1
