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 🙂

Hi @Bow

I want to acknowledge your vulnerability in sharing this part of your life with us.

I want to acknowledge all the emotions that you feel and give them space to be seen 💛 (yellow heart emoji).

How do you provide yourself care and love something you are so deserving of.. during the times you are reminded of this?

I am sending you so much light.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow Are you seeking any professional support? Sometimes it can be helpful but I'm aware everyone receives support differently.

Re: My Mosaic

No @fluffylight

i reached out to my case manager this afternoon, told her what today is and she ended up calling me and was asking stupid questions that were making me feel worse. I hung up. They then called my mum. 😡

not sure it feels safe now

Re: My Mosaic

I’ve been thinking if you while I was at work @Bow.

I don’t know what else to say. But just know I’m here with you.
