Chat Between @jesusredeemedme2425 and @PiecesOfWhoeverIWas
I thought that I would make us a penpal chat, because I love talking to you and I’d love to get to know you more! Please feel free to ignore if you don’t want to, or if you don’t feel comfy. No pressure! <3
Retagging in case they missed the previous one~ @PiecesOfWhoeverIWas <3
Thank you so much! I love how you’re tackling the NR posts hehe! Yes, I noticed <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 Been doing that for over 5 years now hehe, so it’s not even like I’m tackling lol, it’s become such a routine for me here and also my favorite part about being here, I thiiiiink! 🥰 Thank*youuuu* for being the one always caring, always noticing and always so appreciative too! 💖 You are such a light, Kiara!
I hit recents the same way now hehe
Awww thank you! <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 Hey Kiara! I’m sorry it took me so long to see this. I don’t want to sound like I’m making excuses, I’ll just say I’ve had a lot of life things going on in-between getting caught up on notifications for a while.
It’s totally cool! No worries at all <3
Notifications pile up, too. I’m so behind myself XD
I got free books!!!!! So excited!!!! <3
Wrist is a lot better now, thank you! <3
How’s my dear Pieces doing? <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 Hey! I’m glad you hear your wrist is better. I’ve had carpal tunnel too and know it is not fun.
Had? You got rid of it??? How??? Lol
I’m really into kids’ and YA books lately <3
Whatcha up to lately? <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Well, I am guessing technically carpal tunnel doesn’t fully go away. You just do things to manage the pain, and then it lessens over time. I hardly ever think about mine anymore, unless I’m using a computer mouse too long the wrong way.
Not too much is going on with me. I’ve been traveling this week. The biggest thing in my world lately is that my son started having seizures, and we just found out he has epilepsy. That’s been a challenge for my emotions. I’ve been feeling a little overprotective.
What’s going on with you? How is your mom?
@jesusredeemedme2425
By “lose myself”: sometimes I get into situations where I push myself beyond my limits with people. I know certain ways to help myself beforehand, and I can feel when I need to get out of the situation. But traveling can be hard sometimes to get away when I need. So I go past my limits, and all my good coping mechanisms go out the window. I “lose myself” like start getting extreme anxiety or depression.
I don’t think sunglasses would help with my son. It has something to do with contrast and flash rate. They said it doesn’t even matter if his eyes are open or closed, because your eyes can still see flashes even in your sleep. It does require both eyes for the brain to seize, so one thing he can do is cover one eye with his hand. It’s interesting.
Keeping boundaries is definitely a challenge. We might be keeping the boundaries at the front of our minds at first, but then maybe we get comfortable and start to relax them. Sometimes when I get into my comfort zone my defaults start coming back out, like people pleasing or freezing.
I’m sorry to hear last night was hard. Do you want to talk about it?
Sorry I’m so slow to respond.
That doesn’t sound like fun :(
Weird, in your sleep too???
Aren’t brains WEIRD?
Yeah, boundaries are hard.
Idk what I was referring to lol
What have you been up to lately? <3
Hey :)
@jesusredeemedme2425 Hi Kiara! I was looking for this thread several weeks ago and couldn’t find it. I’m glad to hear from you, you’ve been on my mind. How are you?
I probably should have looked back at our last messages before writing, to give you a better status update. I’ve had a lot of big life changes this year. Some for the better I guess, but not really. Just a lot of stress. I’ve been feeling quiet and keeping to myself a lot. I’ve been having to undergo a bunch of tests for possible cancer, I’m doing ok just growing weary of health problems. I’m sorry for a paragraph full of complaints. Things are going pretty well with my kids, they are my main focus. ❤️
Just search up your name hehe
Aww <3
What’s making you quiet?
Aww man, I’m sorry! I hope it’s not cancer :(
Complaints are welcome here <3
Are your kids little or adults?
@jesusredeemedme2425 I tried that but I must be subscribed to too many things. I don’t have the patience to look through so many pages. 😫
What makes me quiet I can probably write a whole book about. 😅 I’m sure it’s some combination of life experiences and personality. I’m trying to push past it a little.
My kids are in between. ❤️ They’re older kids, teens, and young adults. I have 6 kids.
Tell me how things are going for you! How is your mom? How’s your job going? I remember you were having some of your own health issues.
I hope that when things are hard in offline world, you know that there are people here around the world thinking of you, even when it might not always seem like it. You make an impression, not by what you do for people, but by being who you are. ❤️
Lol I feel it
Like PTSD?
Wow that’s a lot of kids!
Mom’s doing good <3
Job is insane as usual but fun!
Awww thank you <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 Oh yes, I have a ptsd diagnosis.
I fail at responding lol
I have PTSD myself.
I’m exhausted and trying to rest, but also accomplish things lol
Watching/reading anything good lately??
I’m not ok :’( Check my last post under general
@jesusredeemedme2425 I'm sorry you're having a hard time my friend. I replied to your post. I'm sorry it's so long. I'm just that kind of person, when I feel passionate about something. I hope you can feel the Holy Spirit in my words. I felt a strong energy in writing you.
I've been watching Yellowstone recently. It's alright. I usually watch historical or sci fi dramas. How about you?
I don’t remember which post it was… and thank you! <3
What’s that about?
I’ve been watching a lot of reality competition shows lately. Watching The Mole rn <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 It was in reference to what you said here about your latest post in General (I'm sure it's not the latest by now), I believe it was something like Do Good Men Exist? There are a lot of wise words there.
Yellowstone is about a cattle ranch in Montana. It's a drama, there's always some sort of problem or action. I like that there's some history into the old west. I believe there's a newer spin-off that gets more into the history; I'll probably watch that. The only thing I don't really like about this series is there's a lot of foul language.
If I could have anything in the world... hm... maybe enough money for like a year without any commitments for me and my kids to travel. There's so many places I want to go, and even though I travel a lot there still never seems to be enough time for it all. What would you choose?
I don’t remember lol
I’m currently on the last episode of the first season of The Mole <3
Have you watched You Can’t Ask That?
Good health and financial stability for my mom and I <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 Just wanted to check in with you and see if you are ok. Thinking of you.
Sorry for taking so long to respond. <3
I’m ok, trying to catch up on everything <3 You??
If you could have anything in the world that you wanted, what would it be?
