Your brick story

I guess I'm just trying to piece together who exactly I am. Thought I knew but everything has changed. What does ordinary mean anyway? I know I have to go back inorder to go forward, but quite honestly I just want to remain static and hope it all goes away. Foolish really!

    I think you need a hug, a long warm hug.
    It strikes me weird, in a contradictory sort of way - because intellectually I know lots, literally thousands, or hundreds of thousands of us are out here, and have gone through or are going through what we are going through so similarly. I too have this strong desire just to remain still, static as you put it, not going back if that's what I got to do to go forward so I don't want to go forward either. Often in my mind I am thinking "just leave me alone." I have felt so afraid to move I barely could make a gesture when I tried to talk about the feeling...for now, let's just visualise that nice, warm hug, huh? What do you say?

    I want to go back too, but I find that you never can really. You just have to go forward; make your future an improved version of the past... it turns out I haven't changed as much as I feared anyway!

    thank you for the comment on my brick, it truly helps just to know we are not alone, and that our lives can touch another in the same boat as us, thanks a bunch, and big hugs to you

    JayT - your images are really powerful - and they move people to communicate at a different level - that is a great gift

    Thank you roze, thats very kind. I guess they are the best way for me to explore difficult emotions and that they may provoke communication I believe can only be a good thing.
