Good Morning Alle!

Bullies and Doom always lurk on the horizon awaiting opportunity to strike and ruin our day.

They poke and prod at us seeking our weakness and trying to break us down.

It can be scary to speak out and fight back.

But if we face our bullies and doom with logic kindness and love we can make a positive change

Sometimes when we face these bullies and doom with love it drives them madd

Love and kindness makes some flee

If we keep at it we can make changes little by little

Over time our love and positive makes noticable changes

Never know, maybe no one was ever kind to them. Sometimes this new kindness leaves them lost and confused

Often when we keep at it with love and care we can turn some around and make a new friend

So how do you deal with those whom seek to spread woe?

Drop us a post an let us know how you are, any special plans for the weekend, or anything you wish to speak on. this is a safe place and it alle belongs to you!

Hey!

Today is a good day smiley feeling nervous a lot because today i am going to confront a friend of mine and apologize to him. My past got between us and today i ll make it clear to him why i acted weird towards him (without telling about my past though), because i wont let my past ruin my friendship with him!

This weekend i ll spend lots of time with friends, but also have to learn for my exams ...

Raven, how are you doing today?

I am wishing everyone a lovely day!

@Raveninthelabrynth difficult when bullies are all old ones who ended up being at home in own head and are too loud. They drown out all shouts for help.

Pushing away everything hasnt helped . Asking therapist was too scary so stopped. Apart from here have given up talking.

Hoping all others carry on. Safe hugs and strength.

@Raveninthelabrynth its pretty bad right now. Tryng not to isolate is terrifying. Borderline tells me its futile n il b abandoned anyway. Thinking the worst as i hav no listeners n pushed friends away irl too. Alone n afraid. Head bullies win.

I am having a very good day! I was a bit worried something was wrong when it felt so peaceful inside. But someone told me to enjoy it and not worry too much.

So I did. I feel great!

@Raveninthelabrynth

Hey... Good topic, hm, an hour ago I tried to write sth about exactly that, about bullies and my way to handle them, hm, in my infinite thinking loop I somehow had this sidenote, btw I've been bullied at school but gave up though, I mean the writing. I guess this counts as a second try. So how I handle people who spread woe... I'm a kind person, too kind most of the time and way too quiet, I don't fight back, guess I never have. I have this image of a perfect world in my mind, that kindness and love beats anger and hate, that if I'm friendly others will treat me friendly, probably that's just my naive mindset... the only time I start to fight is when somebody hurts the people I love, I wish I would be able to fight like that for myself too... Sorry, bit of a weird post, can't think of anything else, I'm not very well.

Have a nice day everybody

@courteousNorth5140 Not a weird post at alle hon. Your ideals are beautiful ones. Some are meant to fight, some are meant to love, neither can fully prevail on a permenant basis. Standing up for those we love is honorable, gotta stand for yourself too wink

I tend to just ignore bullies or laugh along with what they say about me, since it seems to confuse a lot of them. Joke's on them. I love self-depricating humor.

I might hang out with my fiancee tomorrow, but I'm not too sure. Since I finished my last final was yesterday, I'm probably just going to catch up on sleep for a while and then deal with some financial aid forms.
