I just meant don't think your problems don't matter, aren't as important as others problems, or aren't worth posting about 
If you feel you can only get it out once, a thread is a great idea?
I said no pressure and I meant it - the timing's up to you - but I don't want to see you wrestling with whatever this is alone, is all.

I've been working on my play homework, and have been reading around Irish history and the social mores of the times when my character would have been a young girl. I'm beginning to imagine a backstory for her, her childhood, and what might have led her to become the cruel nun she turned out to be.
The play is set in 1963. One of the characters is in love with Elvis. She calls him Elvis Aron Garon Presley. I'd never heard Garon in his name so I looked it up. I didn't know Elvis had a stillborn twin brother whose name was Jesse Garon Presley. I wonder if the playwright made a mistake? We'll see what the directors say.
I can't believe the pain young nuns were supposed to inflict upon themselves, eg, self flagellation with barbed chains to supposedly emulate Jesus' suffering.
It was a time of such privation. I believe in faith, but blind faith can be so abused.
Anyway, I'm getting on with my "homework", finally! We have the first rehearsal on Wednesday.

Yes Leshar, I remember about Elvis'stillborn twin.
Supposedly that was part of the emptiness inside he could not fill....something like that.
1963 was a good year for some things....Julyers, for example. (Bob and I).
The play sounds really interesting as well as challenging. No self-flagellation though please. Gosh, those poor nuns....what a terrible thing to have had to endure.
Hugs. ♥

Hello all,
I am treating myself to a pedicure this morning. The psoriasis affects my nails and makes them thick and hard to cut.
I'm going to a show tonight at our theatre guild, music from musicals held over the years since 1965. It would be nice to have a companion, but I'm making the effort to go even though alone.
I hope all are doing ok.
