Just wanted to thank everyone for their rather raw sharing of feelings yesterday. I realized late last night what my biggest fear was: that something so obvious to me wasn't obvious to a majority of people. It was rather isolating and sobering. upon reflection, ya'll sharing your shock or grief or whatever helped a LOT. So thank you.
You can only look after your own kingdom. β₯
I still feel raw and upset tbh, like a horrible heavy weight sitting in my lower abdomen.
I don't know how to get away from all the terrible news to come over the next 4 years. But I think I might start by actually following through and deleting the other place, and then just focusing purely on my own life and this place here lol
You always have a space to commiserate and find company here, this is a bastion.
Just take one day at a time and the chance to focus on other things.
While it's half a world away it hit me harder than I thought as well.
Treat yourself and make yourself feel better.
hugs , you are not alone
So that's why I'm in a flatline mood today.. it's just hung over me like a cloud all yesterday evening and today. I didn't realise why until you said.
yep. make you feel DEEPLY alone, huh.
