Living with Ourselves

Do not fret about who and who you did not invite to your thread.

I just mentioned it as in your opening post at that time I did not feel included

I think I was barely feeling the right to be alive at the time and so posted artwork to help fill my being with good images. I was honouring my sensitive side. I had put a lot of energy out into the forums in helping mode. I didn’t want to complain. I had just found some of the art sites and was feeling nurtured by exploring them and sharing. I guess it has taken me a while to understand myself in regards to structural dissociation and the helper and fragile parts. I don’t think I could even verbalise it back then… 8 ish years ago. My sensitive side had so much grief and woundedness and trauma it rendered me non verbal. The art was soothing. Because of all my study I had access to a lot of words, but sometimes words are inadequate.

@Sophia1 I think I resonated strongly with you, way back, in sharing a painting of a baby, not cute, but open and vulnerable. Celebrating motherhood somehow.

Often we don’t know everything that a person has survived or is carrying… 

@Adge I am glad you will get access to NDIS. I hope it works well for you. It can be tough to navigate.

Thanks @Sophia1 

Thanks @Appleblossom Yes NDIS is hard to navigate, I agree.

Totally Bamboozling, in my words....

Hi @Sophia1 I love your Smiling Nodding Clown idea (euphemism).

As long as it's not one of those nasty scary Clowns from recent horror movies....

Yep, I'm practicing my nodding.

As in the movie Madagascar - "Just Smile & Wave Boys, Smile & Wave".

ah there is that lovely humour @Adge 

No horror films in my world full stop

clowns are mostly frightening

beyond me why they have them at children's parties and events!

We are all different though aren't we

My humour comes out of the blue these days.

It is my saving grace.

Oh yes smile and wave to the masses
