Kimmy's corner
Hello everyone, I'm Kimberly.
I'm starting this thread to share some thoughts and writings and also as a way to keep in touch with my friends from both Teen and Adult zones.
I hope everyone is having a good time.
Hello, everyone π
I hope this week brings a lot of wonderful and happy moments to you all. And' if it doesn't, please remember that there will be better times. You're strong and you've done it before, you're still here and you can keep going.
From now on I will write my main posts in colour, in an attempt to keep some kind of order because I recognize this thread is a maze, as someone said π€
Last night was nice. I heard an online concert with a friend and it was so nice. It is cool to have someone with the same interests and passions as you. We talked a lot about music and he really made me feel good. I have different interests than most of my friends and sometimes I feel like I'm left aside.
But, after that, I dissociated and I don't remember what happened. I guess I fell asleep and I had a horrible nightmare, reliving some episodes even when I woke up. It was horrible.
My mom left today. I'm back to my lonely and boring week, but I'm trying to be optimistic. I went skating again and now I'm going to get some bubbles π€.
I wish you all a happy day. Colorful kisses π and joyful sparkles β¨ to everyone.
@Kimmkimm
I love the colour, Kimmita, and I'm so glad you got to have so much fun with your friend! You're right, some days are tough, and sometimes things just get overwhelming, but we'll always have each other to lean on. β€
Keep going, my friend, and live life to the full. Many huggles π

Hello everyone π
I've been away enjoying my best friend Kata. Many things have happened lately, good things and bad things as usual. But I guess it's just life.
However, today I want to thank someone. The first person that welcomed me in 7 cups. I call her my hero (or heroine, not too sure how it works in english) because, when I came here, I was in the worst state I've ever been and she was so kind to me, she made me feel at home, she was the stone where I stood, she was my strength. And she's been with me since then. For all of that, thank you @enchantedlove.
This is my first poem in english with Iambic Tetrameter. It was too hard to write and I'm sure it must have lots of flaws. I hope you like it. I love you, Mary-Kate πππ
Under the sky, above the sand,
beyond the hills, over the vale,
between the trees was told a tale
that still echoes across this land.
A tale spread among the elves
about a jewel on distant shore;
created by the gods themselves
with radiance none has seen before.
Impeccable and perfect stones
embedded in the finest gold;
no one on Earth could ever hold
a treasure worthy of heavensβ thrones.
The mastery of holy hands
granted the jewel with human form
pouring inside a light so warm
to brighten up all mankindβs lands.
The shape was that of a sweet girl,
her skin as white as pristine pearl;
cerulean eyes as pure sapphires
and golden hair as morning fires.
Her heart shone with enchanted love
immaculate as a white dove.
That jewel is known until this date
under the name of Mary-Kate.
@Kimmkimm
you are not an english native and that is unimaginable better than the #### we write.
we did not notice a single error
just relax ; you're great kimberly and your rapid progression in english shows that
there are undoubtedly many natives far worse at english
I tremble before every line we write with fear and cluelessness
you are great ; never forget it
@unnamedcat
us scrolling up and not understanding a single word of the spanish above
at least we won't have to revise now

Today I want to greet a very special person for me. A person who has been there always. She's usually silent, but her heart hides so much empathy and love and understanding. She always appears when needed, and her words are always accurate and full of love.
Today I want to wish a happy birthday to @YourAverageTeen505
She is a part of my life. She is my friend, my counselor, my listener, and I owe her a lot.
Thank you for always being there. Thank you for all the times you have listened me and guided me. If there is someone that has been the rock on which I stand, it is you. Thank you so much πππ
I hope you have a very happy birthday. I hope you're doing ok. I hope you have lots of goals in your life, and I hope you always have the energy and the determination to fight for those goals.
I love you πππ and please give Caramelo a big big hug from me π€π€π€
People keep saying that this year will be a better one, good things will come and stuff like that. And I wonder, where do they get hope from? How can them keep being optimistic? Do they really believe things will get better?
It is too hard to keep going. It is lame to depend on my mom to feel ok. It is shameful to not be able to feel hapoy by myself. Sadness and guilt are rooted deep in me, and no matter what I do or where I go, those are always there, awaiting. I wonder, why didn't he finish it all that day?
@Kimmkimm
Hey Kimm β€οΈ
It's okay β€οΈ, you don't have to get to where you want to be right away. These things take time, and that's okay. Everyone's journey is different, and you can be gentle with yourself. We don't get to change what happened, and no amount of shame, guilt, self-hatred, and pain you feel will change that. It's okay to feel those feelings, Kimm, it's completely normal, but there will come a time when it is healthier to let go of them than it is to keep feeling them. It might be harder than it seems, but I'll always be here for you when you don't feel strong enough to go on.
We may not be able to change the past, but hope comes from the choices we make for our future. It won't always be like this, Kimm, it doesn't have to. The steps you take don't have to be big, as long as they take you in the right direction. You can choose to take care of yourself even though you feel unworthy of care. You can choose to speak kindly to yourself, even though you feel so much shame and guilt on the inside. You can choose the work on the things you can control, even amidst the many many things you can't.
I love you, and I treasure you, and I thank God everyday for bringing me to cups so I could meet you and all the lovely friends I have here. We will get through this together β€οΈ
@Kimmkimm
There was a pandemic that worsened life for everyone, made millions sick, and killed thousands. This year there will be vaccines and all that will improve.
Thatβs why many people say things will get better.
On a personal level, one might suffer emotional issues that donβt have anything to do with the pandemic (though restrictions made them worse in many cases by cancelling meetings among friends, family, sports teams, art classes, travel, etc.)
They donβt refer to these. These belong to each oneβs personal journey. Easing restrictions will help somehow anyway, I think.
Sometimes it feels very hard to keep going. But there are things that motivate you, like being with your friends, your mom, your dogs, writing, pleasures like rollerskating⦠Things that give meaning to keep going. You could even write them down and have always this list at sight.
It is wonderful that you have your mom, and that she makes you feel so much better.
Sadness will take time to go. You should get used to that, make friends with yourself as you are. You are a wonderful person, but sadness is part of the package by now. Donβt fight it, befriend it.
Shame, while real and understandable, is baseless, unreasonable. You should be proud of yourself. I am. All your friends here and elsewhere are proud of you.
You do have moments of happiness and even joy. Appreciate them. Focus on them. Cherish and collect them (even in a notebook or by memory).
Your life is immensely valuable for yourself and for all of us that love you. You know how much we all love you.
All the things you love, those moments of happiness, and the immense love of so many friends and your mom, should be more than enough to give meaning to your life.
Thank God you are here, because your presence makes the Universe so much better !
@honestpanda81 @WelcomeToChat
What you two say is true. Having friends make things much easier, and I'm lucky to have the best friends in the world. Pandita, you've been with me for so long, you've been my rock so many times, you have picked me up when I'm on the ground. And I've not been fair when I don't apreciate the wonders and joy of having a friend like you. Thank you so, so much for being in my life β€οΈ
And Marcelo, the moments I have with my mom are a treasure to me. Thst is true happiness, you're right. And that true happines, as short as it can be, is worthy everything. Thank you for letting me see that. π

aww thank you
Hello. I hope everyone is doing ok, and if don't, please remember that it is your right not to feel ok and that better days will come.
I didn't believe that a couple of days ago. I was too engulfed in sadness and guilt, I felt cornered and bad thoughts and desires assaulted my mind every moment. I can only describe it as despair. But things have changed, or I have changed, I'm not sure how it worked. Though there are still bad memories and terrible thoughts strike my mind sometimes, I'm trying to be optimistic, I'm trying to get out from this dark pit, and I think my efforts are not in vain.
I've tried to practice self-compassion, as a good friend told me, and now I want to thank them.
@NoneTheWiser your posts are always so nice to read and so encouraging. The way you describe things, and more important, the way you reply every post is amazing. I could say it is as if you're reading my mind. And you're always there, everywhere. I told you I consider you my friend and I mean it. I'm so glad I met you and I hope we can keep in touch for a long time. And even if I lack the experience or knowledge enough, I want to tell you that you can always count on me π
