The Grove of a Spruce Tree ЁЯМ▓

selflessSpruce1515 March 9th, 2022

Hello! You can call me Spruce. I just discovered this interesting diary entry section of 7 Cups, and this is something IтАЩve been looking for. I need a place where I can spill out all of my thoughts without criticism, and thatтАЩs not something I can really rely on through 1:1 chats (even though I havenтАЩt been here for that long, itтАЩs my upfront impression).

I would prefer to keep this as a space for myself, but if anyone would like to send supportive comments for my post, just dive right in! I donтАЩt mind at all ЁЯШК

So for anyone who may be reading this, there may be some rough topics such as family stress, severe self-hate, and some pretty graphic flashbacks (but not too graphic). I will try my best not to make this an inappropriate space, but I just wanted to give a heads up just it case it starts getting to that point.

Donuts are in full supply at all times, so feel free to grab a snack when you travel by ЁЯШК And feel free to greet me when youтАЩre here - I absolutely love meeting new people, and I want to build my support group here on 7 Cups тЭдя╕П

I'm disappointed that I haven't been able to commit to writing daily entries againтАУ I have just been so busy lately even while my motivation level has been at its absolute low. But I'm trying my best, and that's what counts тЭдя╕П

What I wanted to do is post one song that I've been listening to on-repeat for a few days now. It reminds me of every romantic endeavor I've made and the uncomfortable feelings behind them, but by looking for a song like this, it shows that I want to be able to cope with my emotions; listening to these songs make that possible for me ЁЯдЧ

So without further ado, here's the song:

tw: insomnia descriptions, images of intimacy, brief mention of a drug (specifically a common painkiller)

Please skip this; whitened this because can be potentially triggering, and is a bit personal

Spruca's scared :') Starting to have frightening nightmares after a year of empty dreams. Would prefer having no dreams at all than nightmares that make her wake up crying. Spruca is so tired of the anxiety, and it's just getting worse as school creeps around the corner. Parents are arguing more now, and they're really mad at Spruca for going behind their backs.. Spruca just wants to have a social life and be connected with support system, but parents don't understand. They'll never understand. Spruca wants to get a phone, and hopes to get one before school starts. But now, not so sureтАУ will Spruca get addicted to that? Spruca get easily addicted to things, really electronicsтАУ addictive tendencies scare her the most. Maybe having phone be good for her because will learn how to set boundariesтАУ but on other hand, can cause issues mentally. Not only issue in her mind thoughтАУ Spruca keeps regressing, and afraid getting so comfy being smol that doesn't want to grow up. Friends notice too, and not really like :') Get concerned, and Spruca not want to worry friendsies. What can Spruca do though...not really anything. But nightmares get so bad nowтАУ yesterday, had one about being suck in web with silver spider. Afraid spider was gonna bite Spruca :') Spruca not want nightmares againтАУ but too much anxiety does that...trying to cope as best as she can. Was actually productive up to this point, so that good. But subconscious anxiety affecting her greatly. Physically being affected tooтАУ feels like losing strength each day. Today better though, because felt strong in arms again for first time in while. But still worried :') However, Spruca be okieтАУ not first time this happened, and Spruca will overcome again <3 Spruca not so worried anymore because of that. Just need to take things one step at a time, and Spruca will be able to get through this all :)

Hey, Spruca тЭдя╕П Missing seeing you in chats!

Im sorry to hear you're going through a difficult time. Really hoping everything gets better soon. You're such a kind soul and you deserve all the best but no one can escape the cruelty of life. Unfortunately this is how things are, life just goes up and now. So a quick reminder, this won't last forever and everything will be better. тЭдя╕П

Wow, so true Spruce! ЁЯШК Trying to have everything that we need wonтАЩt be possible - ThereтАЩs always limits to what we can have. Also, our happiness goals can change - once we have this one thing we always wished for, we might then shift on to another wish, and it could be an endless quest ЁЯМ╗ Thanks for the reminder ЁЯТЫ
