Hi everyone,
I'm not sure what to say other than I'm just on edge, cranky and sad at the same time. I'm aware of helplines, doctors, mental health plans, mindfulness, CBT, smiling mind app, distractions, doing things we love, etc, etc. I feel as though I've hit a wall...
I know that I want to make some sort of change or changes but I'm unsure of the nature of this change. A general feeling of unease. When you're deeply unhappy but you're not even 100% sure why.
Seriously, this all probably seems kind of vague and I'm not sure what I'm hoping to achieve here, and I know that no one has the answer except for me (whatever that is...throws hands up in frustration).
All I can say is I think life is difficult and often painful. It's the daily, in-between moments that I find the hardest. Sometimes I wonder if brief moments of reprieve is as good as it gets.

Thank you so much, wonderful DB and darling Butterfly Wings (and a wave to all). Love to both of you xoxo
Sometimes I want a quiet life, other times I want to go a little bit Gatsby.

Although I actually think I’m more Gatsby than quiet life at heart 😉 Would explain my avatar to some extent. Lol. Maybe that’s what I’m missing, my own weird, version of Gatsby...whatever that might be...

Hi all,
A grateful thank you, as always 🙂
Darling Butterfly Wings: thank you, lovely one. Yes, I feel a little wild at heart...
If you see a blue butterfly or a storm, think of it as me sending my love and blessings to you. “Dusk till dawn” xoxox
beautiful birdy/Dear friend: thank you so much for making me smile. I look forward to your return 🙂
I don’t know how I can possibly thank you enough for your ongoing support, understanding, insight, compassion and for your genuine acceptance of me. This is especially the case when I know you’ve been struggling, yet still choose to be here for me. You have helped me more than you will ever know. Thank you more than words can express...
How have things been for you, dear friend? Love you xoxox
Gorgeous Grandy: thank very much to you too. I hope so too...I’m not sure of the specifics, but I feel that I’m gradually getting warmer.
Although I don’t think this is “new”, I think that I’m just starting to reconnect with parts of myself. Bit by bit. Love and care xoxo

Dear Friend,
I've missed talking with you my beautiful friend ❤ I've been lost. Anchorless. Words failing me. Retreating into a cocoon of nothing-much-at-all except some pretty raw self reflection. Eventually some tears, and slowly i may be emerging again. We'll see.
How are you feeling?
Last time you wrote you mentioned your feelings of restlessness and discontent. Honour those feelings darl, they are your friends. They are helping to guide you to what is next on the journey. Welcome them and offer them a beverage on the deck to watch the sunset 😊 there is no rush for action.
Acknowledgement opens the way forward.
I do know that you are impatient, but give this some time and patience if you possibly can.
I understand what you are saying about settling, and not feeling inclined to date. I've felt the same at times ... and that is perfectly ok.
It's also ok to go on dates with no expectations of a second date ... to be in the moment and enjoy the company of another person is a worthwhile end in itself, if that is what feels ok for you at the time.
As for settling long-term, I'm sure a lot of people do ... and sometimes it's all we're capable of, and that, again, is ok. But not-settling, and following your firey passion is the stuff of electricity, the stuff of exhilarating awesomeness and if you are in the right mindset and emotional-space, that is truly wonderful. There is so much on the horizon for you my friend. There is.
It sounds like you would at least like a change of scenery right now ... would a holiday someplace be feasible, to get you out of the everyday for a bit?
Love you,
🌻birdy xoxo
P.S. if the bbffs (Deebs and Grandy) are reading, I hope you are both being really gentle with yourselves ... take it easy and know that you are both loved.

Dear friend/beautiful birdy (and a wave to all),
Gently extending my hand of friendship to you as I knew you had been struggling, specially considering how quiet you’ve been lately. I know you tend to get a little quiet when things are rough...warm hugs... I too understand the anchorless feeling.
I know how awful that can be so I’m feeling for you...I care very much about you and think of you often. I know sometimes you need to retreat, and I understand that, but just know if you ever want to talk, many of us here are here for you...
The raw self reflection sounds intense. It must have been very painful, but maybe it’s also an important part of your process in becoming whoever you need or want to be (or maybe I’ve completely missed the mark here?) I hope you’re being extra gentle with yourself during this period of transition. Allowing space for your feelings and all...
I’ve missed you too, dear friend. Thank you so much for the truly lovely and insightful post 🙂
I’m feeling emotional and confused. I can’t even properly describe what I’m feeling...
I really liked your level headed and realistic comments about settling. Thank you...
I think settling in relationships sometimes works out okay, and sometimes it doesn’t. But I think, deep down, perhaps your heart will never be 100% in it...because you settled...
Maybe that’s okay for some people though...to settle in relationships (and/or life in general). I suppose it depends on the individual and what they want and expect as well as, as you thoughtfully said, their head space and other circumstances at the time...
Sigh, thank you, dear friend. I hope you’re right about there being something on the horizon for me. I want wonderful things for you too...for both you and mrs b 🙂 I think you have so much to offer, simply by being you...
I’m planning to go overseas for maybe a month or so late this year or early next year, so that would be nice. Around the Christmas/New Year period. Perhaps France, but not sure yet...
Overall, I’m just not happy with a lot of things. Hopefully this is a year of positive change for me...
How have you been since your latest post?
Love you too,
Pepper xoxox

Hi gorgeous Grandy (and a wave to all),
Thank you so much for your love and many blessings and thoughtful presents. You’re very generous and caring, as always.
It means a lot that you’re visiting when I know how much you’ve been struggling. That speaks volumes about you. Thank you...
Your love and care absolutely is help, lovely one 🙂 Caring and compassion (reaching out) is a form of help . Please don’t doubt yourself...
I love the framed dried flowers. Beautiful...I’ll use it to decorate my place, and each time I see it, I will think of you and smile 🙂
Thank you, yes, I’m very grateful for and blessed by beautiful birdy’s friendship (and yours and so many others too).
Love and care to you,
Peppy xoxo
