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

@Eve7 do you think you just coped and survived for too long on your own and then the was nothing left but to crash? i think sometimes we just cruise along in life on auto pilot and then it gets switched off and we crash. I think that is what happened for me.

i spend 8 mths in rehab dealing with stuff when i was unwell many years ago, it helped and i got my life back, i got off all my meds, didnt see any therapists or anything, was working full time and started helping others. but then my marriage ended, i survived on auto pilot for a few years i think because i had to, but then crashed hard and fast.

must of been hard to just up and move and leave that all behind? or was it what you needed to get better? I moved states when i first became unwell, thinking that i could leave it all behind, but i was so wrong and was sexually assaulted shortly after moving.

does you son and grandkids live with you? you mention them alot, but not sure sorry.

its hard when we isolate ourselves @Eve7 and dont share with our friends how life really is. it truly is a lonely journey. most of my friends are church people because i didnt grow up here, i have a few work mates, but im not working anymore, so they have kind of drifted off. my friends that i have around me know my old life and how i struggled alot, but i have only told a select few how things are at the moment and even then they dont know the whole truth. so much shame.

thanks again for sharing @Eve7 i think we have walked similar journeys

Re: My Mosaic

We have travelled a similar journey @Bow and, like you, I carry a lot of shame over this wretched mi.

My son recently bought a house but he is with me at present. I am unsure what will happen this year when school starts as it’s complicated with his wife and she’s not close by.

We moved originally as our pastor was starting a new church and we wanted to stay with him but when our kids finished high school they both went to uni in Qld so h and I moved north.

This is past year has been a nightmare in lots of ways but I am trying to hold onto 2Tm1:7 We’ve not been given a spirit of fear but of powered, love and a sound mind.
