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

Pigeon post has taken some time to deliver my reply. (Your message 14th Dec 2024!)

Graciously accepting your words of kindness.

Yes self- isolation has served me well.

I have been struggling in many areas and as you are so familiar with, they land without warning.

Prolonged chronic trauma, grief, loss, latest label given.

Label acknowledged and left for it to attach itself elsewhere.

I decided that I preferred the creatures of this world to most of mankind and have discovered so much more of me as a result.

I understand you more now Jacques. I apologise for all of the times that I tried to talk you into going out.

That is not the answer.

My realisation is more that I am doing what I feel most comfortable with. That is where peace lies.

I have seen so much beauty that I never dreamed of.

Only you can know when the time to leave your safe haven is.

I thank you for all of the words that we have exchanged.

There is an unspoken power between those who choose to live this way.

I go out when absolutely necessary and to spend time such precious time with my son.

Extended family I have culled those who were insincere.

I hope that your world is continuing to teach you more and more about who you are.

I hope that your mum and girlfriend are well.

Take care

Sophia
