@Healandlove ! Central Coast ! One of the most beautiful places in Australia.
I’m from Newy ❤️
I was going to say that you’re living the dream, but that’s a bit presumptuous.
Your photo reminded me that my ex-narcissist loved this area. So it has made me happy to think that he’ll never see it again.
Thank you for posting 👏🏼

@Glisten stunning!
I am in the north eastern suburbs of Perth, no water for miles 😞
My great uncles lived in Salter Point when they were alive and they were across the road from the river. It was always so nice to sit out the front and gaze over the water. If I'd won lotto I would have bought their house just for the view!
@tonys I've been reading your posts and they are so prosaic. I envy you. I lost my creativity when I started on MH meds. Keep up the posts, they truly make me smile.

@Glisten - "So it has made me happy to think that he’ll never see it again." - that cracked me up! I feel the same way about my ex best friend. I don't wish you harm but I don't wish you well either.
thanks for the smile 🙂

@ENKELI What a coincidence. There are have been a few people that I have met over the years, that have done the NSW to WA move.

@Glisten , central Coast is truly a beautiful place! This was during our holiday. I am in the bustle and hustle of Sydney. But the dream is for a sea or country change one day.

@Healandlove Sydney, one of the few places I feel comfortable in.
The Central Coast would be an outstanding location to realise a tree or sea change.
If I win Lotto, you can help me choose real estate.

Thats a lovely thing to say.. Thankyou @ENKELI .. I'm sorry you lost your vision's. Stoke n meds took me out too mate, long ago. Spelling still does my head in. . I want to say to you, this seems to be a place of tolerance and encouragement. I'll watch for you in the fog. You will emerge and flourish.
Kind thoughts to you mate.
OH, one day I would love to know the hidden secret behind the unusual Tag you have ENKELI.

@tonys enkeli means angel in Finnish. When I was in my late teens I learned Finnish just for the fun of it. Everyone else was learning Italian, French, Japanese and Indonesian. I wanted to be different. Not that I'm an angel by any means but I just liked the word.
I've been on meds for 20 years (aging myself!!) so am used to the loss of creativity. Considering the alternative I am happy to accept the good with the bad.
Hope it's not too hot where you are

That is just . . . perfect. @ENKELI . Now I'm glad I asked. Angel.. would never have figured that.. Your the first person I've ever heard of choosing that language. I would not know where to start. Finnish. Well mate. when I was a teen I was an idiot like most of my friends, and there you were, a teen on a search.
You certainly wrestled with some tough choices. You had much to sacrifice on the alter of sanity.
I hope science outpaces your hour glass sands and free's your mind from is chemical clutch.
It must be an amazing mind. Take care friend. tonys..
