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

Hey @Bow ,

Good to hear from you.

Sorry to hear your trip has brought up memories. My apologies - I didn't realise you grew up in Tassie!

Hope you and your daughter are okay

Re: My Mosaic

Would be so intense @Bow - maybe it's just a house now, but it's obviously really tied into your memories. I hope you got some catharsis or some reflection material out of the visit. And maybe it's good to note how different it is now - you're creating new, wholesome memories with your little one. I imagine she's making her own memories, and they'll be filled with joy 😊

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow ,

I'm around for the next 30 mins or so. We can have a chat if you think it'll help. I recognise today has been a big jump for you. You did things you never thought you would. I acknowledge the difficult feelings it has brought up for you. There may be many should've's, would've's and could've's, but for now, let's just remember that you are worthy. You are special. You are brave.

You are hear because people love you and care for you.

Re: My Mosaic

I was a bit unwell this morning, own fault. I’m ok now though. We had a slow start to the day, and then went to a few shops around town that we wanted to visit.
We head home tomorrow. I’ve really struggled the last few days with ED stuff. The monster inside my head in screaming at me. I am desperate for my routine at home. Everything feels out of control.
