Make it count today folks! Do something for another person selflessly, expecting nothing in return. 💕
Sending you love and support for today Minion ❤️

Hi Venuscat
Haha pancaking is when you’re trying to take a dog (often puppies) or other animals (my stepdaughter’s cat for example ) for a walk and they go “nope no way, I aint walking anywhere “ and lay down flat and refuse to move

Hi everyone
Checking in for another 24 hours please, 6.30am from a beautiful morning in tropical North Queensland
I’m feeling very grateful for you all on SR ❤️ I’ve had a few triggers the last few days but have managed to let them slide on by without acting on them, largely by reading your posts. Banished that sneaky AV a few more times. I think the AV is like a chameleon, it keeps changing it’s appearance and tries to surprise me and trick me by camouflaging it’s arguments and sugar coating them. But I’m getting wiser to it’s tricks. Must remain vigilant though and keep an eye out for it’s new tricks...

Stay strong everyone, love and support to you all ❤️ Xx

May I share?

Gonna sound silly....but moving here was a massive culture shock. Not good for me.....well, very good for my AV who started drooling....so I have found some interesting ways to acclimate and tell my devil to go the heck AWAY.....the accents were so strange, the ads.....I don't do TV....so I decided to change it up and I subscribed to YouTube TV for a month....I am listening to US stuff and starting to enjoy it.....starting to not feel like a Martian here....

I say this because this has been a HUGE trigger for me. Feeling different. Feeling alone. Feeling other than....sound familiar? So I fixed it. I am an Aussie American now....and I claim it.....my AV can go jump in the lake.



Love you Willow...thank you for being my friend. ♥♥

Love you Willow...thank you for being my friend. ♥♥
Thanks for sharing and thanks for being my friend too Venuscat love you ❤️
What you said, being “other than “ is key. I think we often feel like we’re different or don’t fit in. I know I certainly do! Moving to the states would have been HUGE! I’ll bet the AV was so excited about so many excuses to drink... A testament to your amazingness and your strength that you didn’t give in to it! And finding ways to feel part of your surroundings and included is really important ❤️❤️
On the flip side I think we also have to be a bit careful about what we choose to fit in with.... just as an example for me at the moment, I’m a fair bit older than most of my fellow uni students many of which want to go to the uni club beer garden after class and have drinks, which is just too much temptation for me right now.... so I’m trying to fit in with them in other ways but I only choose to fit in with them on the compassion and teamwork level without engaging in their social life

Sorry for intruding, but I have been thinking so much about the whole "fitting in" thing. I've been trying to fit in all my life, always felt like the odd one. But it takes me so much energy to fit in. So I am starting to wonder if it wouldn't be better to just accept that I do not fit in and be okay with it instead. I feel a bit like a duck trying to fit in with pigeons. It's possible and if I try hard the pigeons will see me as one of them but it's not in my nature to sit on trees, I feel much more myself swimming in the pond.
