LovelyLicious Greetings.

[FeyChildLovelylicious]

Hello.

Im here. Im so glad. Im a 22 year old woman. Like so many on here I too had it rather tough, and some moments still, are super tough too. But, I read a reply this morning, on another thread, and it made me feel so good. The person had replied to another member on here, and simply said that they are offering other options from all the anger and sadness. I really like that, and thought that I would join this community as well. Because even though what I went through, many nights of torture. I could never forget. Its in there, but I have learnt to just keep on challenging those thoughts. I feel like I was born into misery. I had to run away to find my freedom. I got out, and I havent looked back. Ive lived on the streets. Ive worked on the streets too. I read and write a lot now. You cant stop me from learning. Theres so many good people here. Im free of all 'outside' addictions. Thats why I am here because I am loving this new learning spirit that I feel inside me.

I am a FeyChild because I love all that fairy stuff. My doctor says its a good distraction. But Im not obsessed with it or anything like that. It comes from one of my favourite childhood memories being the Blue Fairy coming to my school and singing for us. It was one of the happiest times, of my childhood. Before all the rest started. My other happiest moment is running away from home.

Im LovelyLicious because thats my naughty side. I have that too. Not too naughty, I promise. Im just a flirt. Im cool with that. Flirted with danger all my life. Im not so cool with that, but Im learning to smell the roses too.

I would just like to encourage us all today. I would like to send everyone here, great big fairy kisses and hugs, with fairy dust on top.

I know that my life is better now Ive let go of so much. Took me as long as it took me. But, I never gave up. And now, Im so much happier. Really though. I dont get online to share my grief. Im sorry. But thats for me and the doctor to talk about. I wanna be here to care for others. Because I had someone take me in too. They cared for me. They taught me well. Theyve passed on. Its my turn to care for others.

Thank you so much for giving us all this space to care and support each other online.

I love you.

FeyChild LovelyLicious!

Hi FeyChild LovelyLicious. Your not the only person who has a thing about fairy stuff. Similar to you and a few others in here. We have done it tough; some tougher than others. But we still have to respect each other. Similar to you I am flirtatious, and it has gotten a me in a little trouble. But when fully explained no problem. You are a worthwhile addition to here.

[FeyChildLovelylicious]

Thank you both.

Thank you Mr Brumby, cutie face. You can flirt with me anytime, sweetheart.

Thank you DD. Thanks for holding my hand.

Great kindness, and joyful butterfly kisses, I send back to you, with fairy sprinkles on top.

Love

FeyChild

Hey FeyChild,

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for your lovely post, and your introduction too! I'm a 23 year old female, and I also enjoy learning. I love reading, though I don't usually write independently. I used to write poetry sometimes, which I posted on the poetry thread here. Do you have a favourite genre to read? It's cool that your interest in fairies is a positive distraction and is supported by your doctor. I am also pleased to hear that you have no addictions, and that you have fought so bravely to get to where you are now.

It must take a huge amount of inner strength to escape from a traumatic environment, without having the security of a place to go. I've been fortunate to have a stable and supportive family situation. In fact, I still live at home with my parents and younger sister. I've had OCD/anxiety since I was 13, and I developed an atypical eating disorder at 19. I was a very sensitive child who lacked self-esteem. Since the age of 21, I have improved in many areas of my life, thankfully. There are still things I need to work on, but there's time 🙂

I must say, you sound intelligent, caring and good-humoured. Despite your traumatic formative experiences, you have pushed on, sought help, and found your own inner-strength. I am glad you have a positive and joyful childhood experience that you remember so vividly. Childhood memories like this are beautiful. While I don't share your interest for fairies, I still remember making fairy rings with my sister and cousins. We would get so excited about having chocolates put in the ring by the fairies.

It's great that you want to support others doing it tough - that shows your compassionate spirit. If you ever do feel like talking about concerns here, you are still welcome to. It's good to hear that your doctor has been helping you, and that you're doing well now.

It would be great to hear back from you 🙂

Best wishes,

Zeal

Boy I love getting fairy Kisses I remember giving them to my daughter. Also I had her believing in fairy's till she was 14. It's all all magic you Know how flours grow. They all need help from the fairy's. Here is a big bag of fairy dust for you to spread around sweetheart. this place needs some magic sometimes.

Okay I found you! Welcome FeyChild.

We are lucky indeed to have you in our midst. And I feel proud that I am, in some small way, partly responsible for you joining us. Since you said that it was D&D's reply on my thread that attracted you here to BB.

I see that Dust&Dirt has also found her way here from my PTSD thread. Good to see you here D&D, you and your beautiful Falcon.

And someone else I know from the BB Cafe - hi Kanga - good to see you here also.

Hey FeyChild, I'm glad that you have started to learn how to stop and smell the roses. My previous profile picture was a beautiful red rosebud which I photographed after rain. So it had little raindrops on it. But I recently changed it to a sketch I did of a flower from my garden, which is what is here now. I like the colours.

Anyway I look forward to seeing more of you around the different threads, both you and D&D. I'm sure we will all benefit greatly by having you here with us.

With gratitude.

Hi Feychild,

What a thought provoking and meaningful intro? You've clearly seen a lot- experienced a lot- in your 22 years.

Your line about "running away to find your freedom" got me all choked up as it's something that I can personally relate to. Sometimes you have just gotta leave, right? Although technically I moved out rather than ran away so not quite the same as you (I'm 20 btw).

Learning that you lived and worked on the streets at one point had me gobsmacked. The hardship but also your incredible resilience is striking. I'm a little in awe.

There's something very beautiful about your presence: you give a compassionate vibe. Sending you more fairy dust for you to spread around.

Wow, thank you all so much for being so kind and loving.

Such compassion. Ive just read all about this in the OTT thread. You are all living examples of love in action. I hope that you're all giving yourselves as much kindness and support that you have shown me too.

Hi again Mr Kanga - love your cheeky humour. Big hugs!

Hi Taurus - Your sketch is fabulous. You have a true talent.

Hi Zeal - thanks for taking the time to let me read how life has been for you too. My reading habits change. I'm reading David Eddings at the moment, it's an older series titled "The Belgariad". Its full of sorcery, and mystery, and epic love. I just love a juicy romantic story full up twists and turns! And you? I will take a look at the poetry thread. Do you have a main thread that you contribute to?

Dottie - You're so kind. Somedays I don't feel so beautiful. Thank you. And same question, do you have a main thread?

Im having a lovely day and all these beautiful comments have made it even better.

Love

Hey FeyChild,

Thank you for your lovely words!

I've never actually heard of David Eddings. I don't usually read fantasy books, but I enjoy romance stories. My favourite novel is probably The Book Thief. On a side note, have you watched the movie 'The Theory of Everything'? It's one of my favourites, and I highly recommend it.

The thread I contribute to the most is the Friends Café, which is a social space for under 25's. There is also the BB Café, which is the original all-ages social space. You can check it out 🙂

I'm happy to hear that you had a lovely day yesterday. Hopefully today is going well too!

Best wishes,

Zeal
