:)
I kinda resonated with your story immediately. I think we may have some things in common.
No pressure from me. Ever. Please. As you come and go.
I had my own worst critic in my head for years. I told it to f*ck off after I realised it wasn't even my voice or lack of self love to carry ;)
Don't let other people's nonsense live in your head would be my suggestion. Tell 'em to f*ck off or say please if you think that's too rude!
It's very liberating!
Take care of you and see you when you're ready to share some more.
Take it easy on yourself please. Sounds like you need some rest. The internet isn't going anywhere :D
Ahh, but you see Hive IS part of my self-Love routine. It is the part of me that is free to be just who I am and have always been. It is the first place I was understood by many just as I am. Life doesn't get any better than finding a place like that.
The people here, some still here and many not, helped me find the courage to learn to write my stories and follow me in learning to make art to go along with those same stories.
You found a special place when you came across Hive but I think you already found that out. :D THAT makes me happy for many reasons.
Hive IS family to me in more ways than one. The GOOD part about belonging to a family.
And yes, they checked on me over the last 4 months to make sure I was alive and breathing. I worried many while gone but sometimes you have to do and follow what you believe in and not just preach empty words.
I am slowly getting back to living for myself as I wrote about in today's post a few hours ago....
I learned long ago to not worry about what others think as long as I am happy when I look in the mirror each day.
BUT I will promise not to overdue.... I also have a bad habit of not doing what I am told :D so we will see how it goes. LOLL
I am more awake at my night. and going to read your blog is now on my list.
I Like you already :)
Yeah - I'm really happy, smiling and hopeful in the first time in three years or more... finding HIVE, the community and the possibilities here.
It's pretty awesome. What they're doing.
