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

@Bow 💖🫂. I wish I could take the pain away. Do you want to talk about it?

I think I’ve come down with a throat infection, I’ve had to wait for a few days till I can get into the GP, have the appointment tomorrow, wouldn’t be surprised if I was to be prescribed antibiotics. It’s been lingering for a bit. I’ve had a hectic week, body flashbacks are brutal and bad migraines (not surprising since I’m sick). But I’m getting through it okay, uni has been keeping me distracted at least

Re: My Mosaic

Pretty horribly intense battle inside my head constantly @creative_writer fighting to keep myself well and out of hospital but it’s so bloody hard. Everything inside me is fighting against it

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow, do you think describing that inner battle through words or by drawing will help? When I feel as though my mind is too full, I find poetry really helpful, because it gives me an avenue to describe how I am feeling, use imagery, metaphors.

I do want to acknowledge that you’ve been really strong and resilient, you’ve been through a lot, it takes a lot of courage to try to keep fighting. Do reach out for support if you need to, no shame in needing help 💖

Re: My Mosaic

I’m tired of fighting for everyone else. It’s the only reason I keep going.

Hey @Bow ,

That sounds so hard right now. It sounds like you have a huge heart and that's what keeps you going.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow, I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for you, as you know your story the best. Even if you’re trying to be strong for everyone else, that is something. You have been through so much, and it hasn’t affected how big your heart and love is 💖
