Catching up
W_I, in case your still reading.
Three years ago the threat of a hug would have sent me running for the nearest shelter.
Today: If I ever happen to meet any of you in real life, your gettin one.
It's just the way I am now.
By the way:
Excuse me but, we're the same age. “Don't be callin me old.” According to the world life expectancy calculator I should live to be 95. Using 20 as a base point for adulthood, I've been an adult for 35 years, that's less than half way.
I have 40 more years to make the most of.
That's the “cup half full” attitude.

Please don't "drop out" b'cuz you type slow or have to think extra on what you post. Like I said I don't mind a late reply. I'm pretty sure P7 won't either if you quote her post and respond.

As for “dropping out” ? I am........................................................................... Not.
It's just my way of saying sometimes it's hard to a word in edgeways.

Reading then losing myself in your words helped me find another piece of my puzzle.

Aha... Puzzle piece, watcha find?

It happening did lead me to acknowledge some things, though. I have to have a center within me that is also a safe place. The cottage was were I ran when I needed rest and renewing. But I really need to work more on creating comfort and safety in my heart. Going there, I left my problems at the door. When I left, it may have been with a different perspective, but I still took them with me. If I allow it, I can make that place within me grow...

How about?
I have a center within me that is also a safe place. If I nurture it, that place within me can grow...
That's a revelation

Let's contribute/share what we hope our healing is going to be...what we are looking for to happen, how do we expect to get there...will we recognize when some healing has occurred?

Hmm, already past that class. I'm on to the next.
It's not a planned trip and there is no destination, you know that. It's more like a pinball game. Once the ball is in motion you have to keep those flippers going until you score a free game. When you lose a ball you crash. But the ball keeps coming back. Once the game is set in motion you have no choice, you have to play till you win. “ I love pinball”. You can't anticipate. You do have to remain conscious of your built in scoreboard to recognize your gains and identify pitfalls in order to develop better self understanding.
Hope that makes some kinda sense.

That was quite an outpouring of self recognition.

it isn't right is it - you see pain and you cant fix it - cant take it away - cant change the past or present for someone you care about - or many people you care about

No it's not right, but it is what it is.
The best you can do? Try to help people make a difference in themselves. There is a reward in that and it does help you to grow too.

we are here doing what we can supporting each other the best way we can - talking when we can - listening when we can - sometimes just breathing is enough.... or sending a hug.. or offering a hand... or being offered one......

who am I?
How about who was I?

3 years ago - cool calm collected untouchable - that nothing got to - who lived in a dream - never touched reality except the one I fabricated.

Hiding in a fantasy?
Funny thing, 3 years ago I was hiding in an alternate reality too. Mine wasn't untouchable though.
Who am I really?
Quote:
I am the child
I am the protector
I am the cold hard part that is steel
I am the logical part that wants to heal
I am the emotional part
I am soft and can be hurt
I am just shattered into a million pieces

Reality strikes. “Reconnecting broken wires” A whole range of emotions coming back on line.... BUT WHERE'S THE FREAKIN CONTROLS!!!!
USS Enterprise caught in a gravity well on the fringe of a dimensional rift.
Kirk to Spock: Spock chart an escape route! Get us out of here!
Spock to Kirk: Captain, the gravity well is interfering with the navigational array. There is no logical escape route.
Kirk to Spock: Well then take your best guess Mr Spock!!!
Spock to Kirk: Captain as you are well aware, Vulcan's don't guess. That is an illogical human trait.
Kirk to Spock: Damn your logic Spock?! just turn us around then! All ahead full!
Spock to Kirk: We have insufficient power to reach escape velocity Captain.
Captain Kirk to engine room: Scotty, I need more power!!!
Scotty to Kirk: I'm givin yuh all she's got Captain. If I push her any harder she's gonna blow!!!
There sits the star ship Enterprise caught between two dimensions, two realities. Computer in flux, engines reaching critical. Where's Q when you need him? Oh yeah... wrong generation.
Then the most disturbing words flash onto the screen ...To Be Continued...
Will Spock find a way? Will logic prevail? Will the engines hold while the emotional James T Kirk drives the ship ahead on shear willpower? Will Scotty shut down the engines to save his beloved Enterprise before it shatters into a million pieces? Or will they just except the inevitable, turn about and enter the rift navigating a maze of temporal distortions in order to explore this new unknown dimension.

Lieutenant Uhura: Captain, I'm picking some old fashioned radio signals emanating from the temporal distortions. Sounds like old recorded messages played over and over again. But wait,.......... there's something else. It's very faint... It sounds like the voice of a little girl. It's emanating from deep within the unknown dimension...... Captain...... It's not a recording.
