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

Lol... sounds like the claws come out?? @Bow

I can't say I'm a lover of cats, but I visited a home a few months ago and mentioned that the cat was getting fat. The owner started putting her on a diet... then lo and behold, 5 kittens were found a few days later at the bottom of their wardrobe....

This was a mystery as this this mother cat was an indoor cat. They then realised that their 'other' cat was not the female they thought it was for the past 5 years!!!

So yeah.. but cat story for the night... so since then, I have 'sorta' fallen in love with the kittens....

But yes, I acknowledge that doesn't take away your pain or hurt right now. I wish I could take it away for you....

Have you heard of MBT-Trauma? It's a relatively new therapy they are trialling in the UK.

Re: My Mosaic

Sorry you've been suffering so much @Bow 😢

With all your new supports, can you write down your story and print out copies so you don't have to explain it afresh to each new person?

Sending wishes...

Re: My Mosaic

So much self hatred today. Struggling this afternoon a lot. Suffering the consequences of my actions in more ways than one and feeling pretty miserable.
Feels unending.

Re: My Mosaic

Hugs @Bow .

That sounds so tough. I hear how much hatred you have for yourself. They cycle of vicious negative self-talk sounds so loud right now.

We all must bear the consequences of our actions... it's often not easy, yet it's one we all need to learn from - myself included. There are plenty of things I've done that I'm not proud about, yet I know I cannot live in the defeat.

Focus on the now, and what you are in control of now. I'm hearing you @Bow . Please take care. You deserve so much more in life.

Re: My Mosaic

I hear you @Bow . Just so the community are aware, are you able to confirm whether you are safe for now?

I hear how much you are hurting but we just need to know that you are safe.
