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

@Bow I don't think people are marked either. I hate the saying 'everything happens for a reason'. I don't believe any of us deserve what we have gone through. Unfortunately there are some horrible people in this world.

I do believe in what @NatureLover said. That trauma makes us more vulnerable.

I really hope you got some sleep last night and today looks a little better.

Sending lots of love 💗💗

Re: My Mosaic

Last night was really rough. I did not sleep much at all. I eventually got hold of someone from the comm mh team I am connected with. I had tried most of what they suggested already and I was not going to hospital. Last resort was some prn on top of the meds that I had already taken. That didn’t really do much either, but they are gonna call this morning to check in with me.
I did end up calling a sa service. That was a little bit helpful. Talking to a trauma informed counsellor does make a difference compared to robotic responses from LL.
I’m tired this morning, not long got out of bed. Feeling incredibly fragile and on edge.
