In The Gloaming TW *just in case*
With the tragic loss of the feed and after much debate and discussion. It's been decided to create a new thread. Soul space so to speak. A journal of sorts.
A place where I can dump some of the nonsense that goes on in my head.
While replies are welcome - they aren't necessary.
I think it was Charlie's program :(
I turned it off and now it doesn't do it
@mytwistedsoul
you okay? 🙂 *offers hugs* cute chickens too btw 😊
@emotionalTalker2260 *accepts hugs* Thank you - just - expressing some dark humor and attitude - sorry 😬 no worries
How are you?
@mytwistedsoul
I'm good 😊 went wild and played with young children at the place I'm volunteering and they played with me. Plus I got the ageing up notification. I'm cominnngggg on the oldies side sooonnnnn
@emotionalTalker2260 Sounds like you had fun! It's allways nice to be able to play and get alittle wild 🙂 You're aging up too?! Man we're gonna have to hide the poptarts 😁 Are you nervous?
@mytwistedsoul
idk what poptarts are, and I’ll probably not want to nom food by the time I come. And I’m not nervous, I actually hope I get kicked onto the oldies side asap, I’m more then ready, I already have my kind friends on the ‘oldies’ side. And you’re one of them. I even have 2 listeners that are being just as impatient as I am XD
mmm - pop tarts! 😋@mytwistedsoul
Hey I can’t sleep
@sunshinegiraffe123 Oh no! Any reason why? Sorry I'm just seeing this now
@mytwistedsoul

@sunshinegiraffe123 oh! That's cool - just chillin' 🙂 its good you get some sleep - not enough and things get weird lol

@mytwistedsoul
Omgggggg! I wish you a happy birthday, Soul! You deserve so much happiness, and even when times are tough, try to keep looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for peeking into my grove every once in a while and contributing super duper supportive comments. They always make me smile and feel better, even if it’s just a little bit. *offers hugs* You rock, Soulll! ❤️❤️
@selflessSpruce1515 *hugs* Thank you! ❤😊 You're pretty awesome yourself! 😉
@mytwistedsoul
Aww, Soul is the sweetest ❤️ ❤️
@mytwistedsoul. Hi I haven’t seen you around. Just dropping a note to say I was thinking about you. I hope that you are doing alright.
@adventurousBranch3786 Thank you - I'm sorry I didn't notice this earlier
I hope you're doing ok too
@mytwistedsoul No problem there is no pressure here. I am doing okay thanks for asking.
@mytwistedsoul
Oooh it is soul's birthday 😮 *excitedly wavesss at Soul*
Hey hey Soul, a very happy birthday to youuuu. It is always such a joy to see you around being ever so supportive and kind towards everyone everytime. I like how you are able to form connections so easily ( it seems easy, i know it isn't but i want you to know how effortless it appears -- you connecting with people, and i always smile seeing your comments around the forumland ). I hope you're always surrounded by people who acknowledge you, appreciate you and most of all, accept you, as you are, so you're also given this nice reminder that you're amazing as you are and people *want* to be around you, you brighten days and make everyone feel supported and included, it is not unnoticed at all. Being a ray of hope and compassion to others is what you do the best and i truly hope, this ray stretches your way as well. May the love, happiness, kindness, compassion and support you offer to others, be rushed your way hundred fold always.
Have a nice day and year ahead, dear soul. On most days you try your best, and everyday, just that is more than enough and commendable. Keep doing what you can, better days ahead, better days ahead. Sending lots of love and cookies your way. ❤️
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou * waves* I'm sorry for my late-ish reply. Thank you so much for your kind words - I've read them many times. You kind of rendered me speechless lol - But a huge - whole hearted Thank you!
@mytwistedsoul
No worries at all, always take your time. And aw haha, I can understand that xD I just hope you know how true it is and you're ofcourse welcome to believe it at your own pace. Here for all the necessary reminders anyway :P ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou *hugs* It might take me alittle to believe it but I'm working on it :) Reminders are allways nice to have aren't they? You're pretty awesome yourself - ya know? I hope you know it too ❤️
@mytwistedsoul
Awh I get that, not easy to let go off our own set of thoughts that prevent us from actually *seeing* ourselves sometimes, reminders sure help, we all can use them from time to time ~ sometimes knowing how someone else sees us can be awe-strucking like "hey, is that me you're talking about?"👀" Lol. Sometimes when our own perception for ourselves is clouded with doubts and negative self talk, Reminders from others definitely help in *shooing* some of that fog away --- and yay soul is working on it and is allowed all the time in the world, at your pace always, you're not alone and we sooooo got this. ❤️ *hugs*
I can use reminders too haha, so thankyou, Soul, that means alot. 🤗
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Awe struck - definitely. But I also know that there are people who see me in a bad light and they have let me know about everything wrong with me. And it matches with previous things - it's like the good stuff is written in chalk and easily erased but the bad stuff gets carved in stone and stays there for years. I read somewhere that for every bad thing you hear about yourself - you need so many good things to out weight it or something like that. It's just so hard to believe the good stuff 😕
Stay awesome ❤️
@mytwistedsoul
Aww I'm so glad you shared ❤ I know it firsthand, it is not easy to believe the good stuff, specially when there's so many existing thoughts that tell us otherwise. 🥲
"Someone else's opinion of you does not have to become your reality." -- Les Brown
We need to make space for the good to enter in our minds and our lives, consider an example? Your mind is like a box, it has limited space and can only contain as much, now when it is filled with bad thoughts (that others have made you to believe about yourself) the good thoughts will struggle too much to enter and make their space too, what we can do, is, to become friends of the good thoughts, and the good everything--- gotta be welcoming and inclusive, aye? :P so now when we help the good enter the box, the not so good ones will have to shoooo or shrink and keep getting smaller till they poof over time --- It is easier said than done, I know ❤ but it is possible and we don't need no one day Magic, we can be patient and shoo away one negative thought, replacing with a good one, just one by one, and we so got thissss.. more *hugs*
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou 😯 once again I'm speechless. Thank you. So I have to be honest and well my head filled in the part about your mind being like a box - of chocolates you never know what you're going to get lol - sorry about that it but it made me laugh
You're absolutely right though and it has to be done one step at a time or it becomes an information overload and it's too much to take in all at once. The past few days I've been using the affirmation that not everyone has to like me but not everyone will hate me. The first part was a gift from a *friend* the second I added on - took me months to come up with that lol
Seriously though - Thank you for your reply - for your kindness and your encouragement ❤️ I appreciate it
@mytwistedsoul
Aw I understand feeling speechless hehe, no worries xD and ofcourse, absolutely no reason to thank me. ❤
I'm glad you shared lol, the chocolate box really can be unpredictable andddd I can see why that would make you laugh, so yay, we got some laughs out of this too. :D
That's an awesome affirmation, Soul, affirmations somehow impact more when we come up with it ourselves and actually believe in or atleast try to (lol) -- I understand the months long struggle but yay, you came up with something that you believe in and that's more than enough, your *friend* didn't give you the full picture, I see :') soooo again, I'm very proud of you for coming up with that lovely addition. ❤
Now is the time to tell you that I don't accept thankyou's from friends :) yes, you heard it hehe. The most I can accept as a replacement for thanks is well, hugs, pizza or cookies -- pick whatever that suits you! 😛
@mytwistedsoul. I’m sorry to but in but I must agree with @sunisshiningandsoareyou said about you. 🌺.
@adventurousBranch3786
Hey hey lovely Branch, nice to see you. ❤️
