Yeah there are people at home @rav3n doesn’t Always mean much though unfortunately. I’m just selfish sorry

you are not selfish for trying your best and admitting how you feel @Bow !!! i appreciate your honesty, and i've also just sent you an email so we can have a quick chat there too 💛

Tell me more about you @rav3n

hmm i never know what to share when i get asked this haha

i come from a south asian background so i've had a bit of a rocky relationship with my identity, and i'm still trying to find out who i am. i've been especially trying to connect with my 'inner' child lately and do creative things. i've been making beaded bracelets (which i haven't done since primary school) and giving them out to strangers and friends at festivals which was fun. started knitting recently too, and i'm thinking of starting another creative activity because i quickly get bored of things. do you have any ideas for some new creative projects i can try? 😊

I love craft stuff @rav3n ive tried so many different things. I often try things out and then take them to my arts and crafts group for others to do.
have you tried polymer clay? I made these a couple of weeks ago..

do you like to paint? Maybe a paint by number?
I also painted this door mat last week

I always have something on the go, plus making stock to sell at the markets.
I’ve been doing a paint by number the last week.

i like inner child work too…. It’s all part of schema therapy. I really relate to it.

i haven't tried polymer clay yet!! those flowers look so lovely 😍 @Bow i remember doing some clay-related stuff in high school and loving it so i have a feeling i'll love this one too.

ooo yes paint by numbers is a great suggestion too! how long does it usually take to complete one? i've done painting for fun, i'm not really that great at it but i still find mixing colours and trying to paint something relaxing.

i was just about to ask if you sell them because the door mat and flowers looked like something i'd find in those cute little shops that sell home-y things.

i'm enjoying my inner child work so far too, i realised i didn't really 'enjoy' my childhood much and i was more focused on 'being a good kid' and academics that i missed out the fun stuff like making a mess with paint and trying a bunch of different things. i remember art and music being my fav subject in school so i've been trying to focus on them in my spare time. i bought a guitar a couple years ago as well, haven't touched it... just seems so hard to get started on at the moment

@Bow

It’s a bad day again.

had a cuppa with my SW early this morning. She tries. I know she does. But there is absolutely nothing anyone can do.

then I had to take my ginger boy to the vet. His currently in surgery 😩 mum said she would cover the bill. Which I really appreciate. But it also makes me feel terrible.

curled up in bed. Crying. Mood sinking even more.

Oh it's awful when a pet is unwell @Bow

It sounds like you're doing exactly the right thing and he's getting the best care possible.

Sending some hugs your way 💗

Thanks @Ru-bee

He will be the last male cat I ever get! I always get males cause they are cheaper to desex…. And I love ginger cats and the majority of them are all males.
I’ve had 4 males cats since I’ve lived in Sydney and 3 of them have had the exact same issue…. Blocked bladder/urinary track.
