Re: Living with Ourselves

Yea @Sophia1 I've got a 'real life ' to get on with and deal with anyway.

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 Lovely to hear from you. Just dropping off something I wrote some months back when I couldn't express what was going on inside me. It's still the same for me, nothing comes outside my head.

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Owlunar@outlander always nice to bump into you wherever we pass each other.

@eudemonism@Adge Hi to you both also.

Hi @Maggie

Hi @Sophia1

I've been very quiet (not posting much) for weeks.

Not intentional, just very low energy & some scary health setbacks.

Hi @Maggie
What's happening tonight?

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Maggie

lovely that you wanted to share with me a piece of your own writing...

written during a time of introspection..

I can certainly relate to this state of mind...

 

I had written a piece in response

however am in my more often than not phase of self doubt and violation..

so it has been tucked away safely

 

I do know where this unsettling sense is coming from

interconnecting with other epic times in my life..

highlighted by words of others...

insincerity reigns..

 

thank you for being you and allowing me into your world in a way that you feel is safe

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hi @Sophia1

 

Just dropping in - I used to write a lot of poetry and lately I have been reading some poets aloud at night before I go to sleep - Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Dylan Thomas and W B Yeats. I am trying to remember them so I can say them off by heart at appropriate moments - and I am enjoying it

 

We all have our introspective moments - maybe hooking into favourite poems can give us some peace but I have noticed I write more poems myself when like is really tough

 

I hope your day is the best it can be

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hi @Sophia1 your description of what your going through sounds similar to my experiences. With myself it came with huge emotional highs and lows. I still get it... just not as intense as it used to be...

It was very motivating at times and also very debilitating at other times.
