Something’s not right

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

Of course, I am here with you. @Bow

I can't even begin to imagine how dysregulating this would feel... is there one small thing you could do to create even 1% more safety in your body right now? 💗

Re: My Mosaic

I think I’m gonna go turf my daughter out of my room and send her to bed @AuntGlow and then crawl into bed myself and watch something on tv. I don’t know what yet. Any suggestions? What do you like to watch? Or maybe I should watch something familiar? I don’t know

Re: My Mosaic

Aw, bless. How does she react when she has to go to her own room? @Bow

When I feel this way, I like familiar and funny - what comes to mind for you? I find sitcoms are generally less triggering. Although I just finished Ginny and Georgia, which is more of a dramatic comedy, and it's sooo good! Have you seen it?

Re: My Mosaic

She complains a little @AuntGlow but it was bed time anyways. She was going to do a little bit of drawing in bed before going to sleep.

yes I have watched Ginny and Georgia. It’s good.
I decided to put chucky on. Season 2 just came out which I started a few days ago. I remember watching it as a kid.

Re: My Mosaic

I am curious to know if you ever find her to be grounding for you? @Bow

Ah, Chucky!! Good choice. I didn't realise there was a TV series version, so cool! What do you enjoy about it?

Re: My Mosaic

Oh yep I will often go throw myself on her… in a gentle give me a bear hug kind of way @AuntGlow @it helps. Her and I are going away together for a few days next week, recharge, reconnect, quality time together.

chucky… I don’t know. I like me a bit of horror, thriller. And I like to see how they do it compared to the originals in the 90’s. Nostalgic I guess.

Re: My Mosaic

CHUCKY! That is the scariest! I'm so scarred from that. As a kid, I didn't realise it was scary so I watched it and freaked out...

I remember the fear in me, and even to this day, I woudn't go back to it @Bow

Re: My Mosaic

I was exposed to so much stuff at my dads house as a kid @tyme i guess I was used to to it.

Re: My Mosaic

That sounds so lovely - what kind of environment will you be in? 🥰 @Bow

Mmm, nostalgia can be very grounding, so I like this choice for you.

I am finishing soon, but shall we chat more tomorrow? ☺️✨
