To say this, in itself is courageous and inspirational. And you do it in the most beautiful way I could ever imagine. I bet your crochet is amazing. Depression can be, so …. dark, empty… lonely. Thank you for posting this and I send you love ๐

Depression is most certainly real, and when you live it you realise just how real. How it can be a central controllung force in your life that you feel powerless against. That effects so much more than just your mood.
.so happy you have a creative outlet, what are you making at the moment?

Yes, wise words here. So true. At the moment I am working on ending my marriage. I guess much like a crochet projectโvisualizing what the finished project will look like (a pretty crocheted shawl?) then getting to work making it happen. Iโm feeling pretty good about it. A new start. No more taking on other peopleโs abuse. Not for anything! Iโm excited and scaredโbut feeling contentment. Freeโfor the first time to truly love myself. This is a great feeling. As I write about it, Iโm feeling better and better..

That is so huge, in so many ways. I’m glad you are feeling contentment as part of the overall emotional package. It sounds like you are needing this – and the result will be completely worth it – self love – this is what we all need. Keep writing, keep crocheting, keep putting one foot in front of the other. Many many hugs ๐โค๏ธ๐

Ahhh….yes. I do need this. It is part of the process. Without endings, there can be no beginnings. We both agree that we need this. And whatever happensโwe will both be better for it. Thank you my dear sweet thoughtful and beautiful friend. Hugs received and given. ๐ฅฐ๐ค๐

Hey Nina,
I just read in the comments youโre ending your marriage. Iโm sending you positive energy! You are so lovely and wonderful, one of the sweetest people I have known, though never met! You have so much light… i hope brighter days come soonโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ๐๐๐. You deserve so much love and light, Lord knows you emit so much live and light. Iโm hear if you ever want to talk to anyone, though Iโm sure you have stacks of friends. Youโre wonderful and I hope his is an exciting chapter for you. ๐๐

Aw sweet Mia. Thank you for the positive energy and love. I totally receive it and feel it!
Yes, me and my husband of twenty plus years โendedโ our marriageโas it was the only way we could come to see ourselves as separate from one anotherโwhich we so needed to do in order to resolve some long standing issues that were between usโthat had become unbearable. We were finding it difficult to move forward. It wasnโt something we could fix. We had to change…
So nowโwith faith, compassion, kindness, gratitudeโall of itโwe are both learning and growing…growing pains…
Thank you for being there for me my dear sweet friend I have never met. I feel it.
This chapter of my story isnโt the brightestโit is a tough one. I am so grateful for itโand I am so grateful for this man who 23 years ago made a commitment to meโand I to him. Loving a survivor of abuse isnโt easy! I will write more about thisโso much easier for me to explain the feeling with poetry. :)โค๏ธ.
And I am humbled and grateful for all of the kind support Iโve received from you and so many super cool people here. I sincerely appreciate you ๐ฅฐ

Seems like collectivelyโwe are all going through dark daysโas a people perhaps to all learn what we need? Iโm hopeful we will learn….
It does feel good to write and share this gift! We all have something to share. It took me a long time to accept my own giftโand feel confident enough to share. Now, I just hope others are inspired to see their own giftsโtheir own beautiful soul. Donโt be afraid. Take heart and courage! And then see what happens…
Love receiving and giving my dear friend. Always!๐ค๐

Yes. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Acceptance.
Iโve been thinking about thisโregrets vs. resentment. Iโd rather regret than resent. I do have regrets from my past. I do feel remorse for some thingsโbut I also think this is how I have learned to stop those things that cause the regret. NO MORE regrets. So true. ๐
