Just saying hello
@Shaz51 @utopia @Oaktree @Dreamy @Glisten @PeppiPatty and all reading along in the best friends club.
I am enjoying the cool change .
But been flat on my back for a while.
Had a bit of romantic interest that went skew-whiff. Better learning that sooner than later.
Little dude. I just gotta be careful not to be in situations where I need to twist myself to fit. He would spout nonsense and pretend it was gospel. I couldn't keep up being nice about it. It might be alright if it wasn't important to me.
Went to a wedding this week. That was lovely... Anyway the theme of the last fortnight wasn't for me.
Actually it was 2 dudes. Lol. A tall one too! Both met at the same church, though one had moved away in COVID and went back up north. Phew. Life might be simpler being single!
Not sure if it is related to the family pattern of having to deal with foster families and biological and extended family complexities. Never been one to 2 time. Was just weird timing... The up north dude started texting again after a big hiatus... In January.
Anyway.... Keep it simple stupid... No kissing... Lol

Hello @Appleblossom, the cool change is amazing.
Definitely better learning that sooner than later.
You don't need to be twisting yourself to fit in, you are awesome just how you are.
Glad you enjoyed the wedding.
Keep it simple and be gentle with yourself. Being single is so much easier if you ask me, but then I've been hurt far too many times to enter into another relationship.

Thank you @Dreamy
Little dude kept saying he wanted me to feel safe in a big loud voice but then came down on me like a ton of bricks in a weird way.
It's been over 20 years for me. Enuff is enough. I am fairly used to walking semi mystic paths. Was watching stuff on SBS about the dervishes. Yep I learned to whirl in the 1980s. So maybe I am finally a swirly whirly girl after all.

@Appleblossom yeah that just seems like a red flag to me.
It's only been about 7 years for me but I already know I'm better off alone. I was born in the 80's 😂.

BAHAHA 😂 @Dreamy you wouldn’t believe how close I was to going down to the bottom paddock, armed with twine to build me another . . shall we call it a Tumbleweed man, my dear Remy?
Your nickname Remy.
I went and cleared all the long grass from around the Water Tank.
Before
After - Found the original ladder 🙂

Woah you did well, that really does look so different, well done.
Not sure I'd trust standing on that ladder though 😂

Hi @Dreamy first off, I really appreciate you for responding back as I really needed someone to talk to on here today. ❤️ I know it sounds silly but I’m really glad that you don’t make me feel alone/lonely on here today 🫂
My day’s going pretty well today I would say. I’m actually pretty thankful for the cool change that happened today and we even had lots of rain that happened during the morning and afternoon. I like that type of weather for a reason, haha! xD
I’ve had some thoughts in my head in relation to something that I’ve been wanting to share but it was in relation to me being frustrated about how my brain doesnt always seem to function when it comes to having to do any forms of writing whether it’d be a particular research that I need to write in my own words, having to write an image analysis/essay, anything…and this kind of issue has always been a problem for me cause I know for a fact that it has to do with me being autistic and that it’s how my own autistic brain usually works when it comes to these things…
but what I’m even thankful for today is that I did my work in the library and was able to write my summary of the research in my own words for two different artists I had to do, as well as writing my own reflections/summaries for my drawings too. I guess the ‘brain effect’ of being at a library vs being in your house works differently that way. I’ve find that doing my study at the library to make me be more productive and that I’m more likely to have some info coming to my head that I need to write/note down, compared to if I’m at somewhere else including at home.
Sorry if any of this doesnt make sense.
I’m so sorry to hear that things haven’t been going too well for you today. Dealing with all the drama is definitely not something that we all want to experience, hey? I want you to know that I’m here for you, and I hope there’s a better tomorrow for you. 🫂 ❤️

@PeppyPatti just thought I can say that I’m really enjoying the visual arts course so far, and it’s great when we get to do some drawings along with it as well 😄 I feel that it has allowed to me to at least build some skills with drawing, and hopefully being able to skilfully draw at an ‘artist’ level, but it can also be part of a coping mechanism too I would think. Starting from tomorrow I’m about to head into week 3 of the course. 😊
oh, and art history is pretty interesting too - but I know I’m gonna be struggling a bit with the assessments lol especially since we have to write an image analysis and then we also have to write an essay 😒
