I want to talk about the sad – talking about the sad make sad go away

Keywords: reflections , anxiety , blog , blogging , communication , growth , listening , relationships

How does one talk about their feelings when their feelings make them want to take a lifelong vow of silence? I got one solution – and that is supportive people. All you really need is a good listener. But this is harder said than done. I’m an absolutely garbage listener, my brain interjects with perspectives and comments every two seconds while someone is speaking. It’s a curse, and it’s taken me a long time to quell my natural anxious mind in favour of patient listening. I’m still on that journey, ladies and gentlemen.

I’ve done the work to become the person I wanted to be

Anyone who knows me personally can tell you I don’t sugar coat things, and I confront issues directly because that’s my nature. When I was younger I came across as harsh and somewhat rude, but during my 20’s I’ve learnt to soften, to empathise and to listen without judgement. I’ve learnt to control my own feelings and allow a safe space for other people to share a different view to mine, and communicate in a healthy way.

I don’t remember the next several months other than visits through the window and people in white, wearing masks, doing things to me. There were periods in a whirlpool tub where a nurse held me while the water moved around me and someone else moved my legs. There was another room where we went to do more exercises, and someone else moved my scrawny legs.

I want to do all these things but they never seem to come true

Keywords: Life

I’m so hard on myself. Maybe that’s my biggest issue. I only point out all that I and others lack. What could be better. Instead of appreciating what is already. I love myself. I love you. I love how you are always trying to make me feel good. Taking care of my every need. Protecting me from me. Nourishing me body and soul.

I want to have down time and too much stimulation sends me into a ball of stress and anxiety

Keywords: {0}

I want to fall hopelessly and relentlessly in love with someone and I want them to feel the same about me. Sometimes I think that maybe I deserve to be this lonely all the time because I did some horrible awful in a past life or even in this one. I don’t know! I know that I have wanted nothing but to feel loved in this life and so far I haven’t felt it. People always say but you have your kids. That isn’t the same. I want someone to touch me and have it feel like they never want to let me go. I want someone to look at me like I am the reason the sun shines and I can look at them with that same feeling. I want to be held and kept safe. I want someone to do random romantic cheesey things for me without me having to tell the. Lastly I want someone to take care of my heart like it’s a most precious thing in the world to them.

I want to think that if you feel like you are the best version of yourself, you will have more to give others and contribute to the world

Keywords: {0}

When we feel good about ourselves, we do better, kinder things for ourselves and for others, and we naturally let the good things in our lives grow. And this is the opposite of when we feel bad. We become more selfish and self absorbed, and mostly lack the energy to give to other people or to things or causes we care about.

I wish it was easy to write how I feel

Keywords: articles , blog , blogging , discover , discover prompts , life , love , musings , self musings , stories , story , writer , writing

Our lives are stories woven and tangled with the lives of people we love. And yes it’s not as easy as they sometimes show in TV shows but I think that’s the beauty of it. The more tangled it gets, the stronger our relationships become, but that very thing might also end up breaking the relationship.
