Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in: Saturday, 14th of December, 2019
Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great Saturday so far. You are all amazing! 
How are you feeling today? .)
How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)
It is a perfect day and weekend to just hide away from the world a little bit, don't you think? I mean, I was thinking and I have realized that it was quite a long time ago we have built a pillow fort here together sooo, I would like to invite you all to build our very own pillow fort for today and hide together from the world! :)
I know I always use this picture but this really is how I imagine a pillow fort for myself, I think. Also, I am absolutely in love with those Christmas lights. So yep, this is how my hideout from the world would look like.
What about you? How would your pillow fort look like? What is one thing that you would definitely have there with yourself? :)
If we all just brainstorm this out together we can really build the best pillow fort out there, so I do really looking forward to hear from you about this very important topic :)
Of course, as always, all of the above questions are optional. If you would just like to say hi or sit around with us for a bit you are always welcome to do so. We are glad to have you here with us no matter what. :)
Also, we have been re-stocking with safe virtual hugs for these up-coming holidays so feel free to grab one or two for yourself if you ever need one. :)

@redmark hi
Hey there @crimsonLime6525 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to have you here with us!
I hope you are having a good weekend so far. :)
Great reminder of self-care. Thank you for this post, it is so easy to forget about self
Hey there @scarletPear1945 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to have you here with us!
I am glad to hear that you have found this post helpful. It can really be easy to overlook the importance of self-care but it can really make all the difference sometimes. :)
Stay awesome!
How are you feeling today? :)
pretty good. You?
How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)
This week has had its ups and downs. I got a reward for the red ribbon week story I wrote a while back. I managed to eat a little without purging too. Someone has been stealing things from the teachers and students at school. Sex ed was this week (topic was Sexual Abuse), me and one of my friends that have been traumatized in our lives managed to make it through the class. I did break though. No one saw, thankfully. I love the Christmas themed profile pic, Redmark!! I really have nothing else to add.
pillow fort
I, being me, would bring some music (Nonpoint, Three Days Grace, Bad Wolves, Sixx am, Fire from the Gods, 5FDP, Avgened Sevenfold, Avatar, etc.), some art supplies, books, fluffy pajamas, maybe some snacks (IDK), and some pillows. I think the pillow fort is perfect as it is!! It loves nice!
Hey there @aiko123 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really awesome to hear from you around here!
I am glad to hear that you are feeling good. I am feeling okay(ish) as well, thank you for asking :)
Oh, that does sound like a long week. I am really glad to hear that you have got a reward for your story, I know that you have worked really hard on it. I am really proud of you for doing such an amazing job :)
Having a thief at school does sound really stressful tho. Also, going through that sex ED class had to be really tough for you as well. I am glad to hear that you have made it trough tho. :)
Also, thank you, I am glad to hear that you like this profile picture. I have a few Asriels that I can switch for my profile picture and this was seasonal. ^-^
Oh, definitely, every pillow fort needs music. Also, I will need to catch up with Avatar's new stuff, I have kind of dropped of with like the first clip they have had for that king "arc" even tho was pretty awesome actually.
Also, books and art supplies sound really nice as well as just having some snack. Fluffy pajamas are kind of part of hiding in a pillow fort also, aren't they? :P
Stay awesome!
Hi dear, @aiko123! You don't know me or I don't know you yet, but I like your additions to the pillow fort :) Definitely music, definitely! Also, for snacks, how about Cheetos!? Oh, and there are Oreos :) and maybe popcorn?
I feel your (insert proper word here, because I'm not coming up with it) about going to and dealing with that certain topic in Sex Education class. = HARD! wow. I am glad that I do not have to go back now and retake the Sex Ed class I had in college. I am proud of you for going to the class and sitting through it. I'm pretty sure it is safe for me to say I know that was hard for you; you were/are very brave! Good job! The class I took in college was 2 or 3 days/week but either way I think it was 3 hours of class time per week. My entire class, we did lots of listening and filling in blanks. Sometimes someone was brave enough to ask a question, but honestly that didn't happen very often. My situation with sexual things is very different now, so I am VERY glad to be done with that course.
The best part of that class (according to me) was when we started caring for an infant; each student for one week. I named my doll "Julia" - a name that I have 'always' found to be strong and gentle at the same time or as needed. We were required to take the doll everywhere - all classes, any meals, and I even slept with "Julia" because the doll could (and did) cry at any moment and if we just let it cry that was many negative points!
So .... yup.
All this to say, I'm proud of you for getting through that class. And that I hope you know that it is quite alright to break down (I think you meant in tears); and that there are a lot of people who care about you and are ready to care for you at any time. Yes, here on 7cups and also in your real-world life.
Take care, dear! (Okay, now go get yourself a class of water.) Gee, trauma stuff is hard to talk about, isn't it.

My pillow fort: Nice draping, free-flowing curtains. Lots of pillows all around. Nice soft lighting, and toys like stuffed animals for hugging and dolls to play with. Over to the side of my fort would be a table with all types of snacks and drinks,
Invitations have been mailed out inviting my closest friends, Chatting and playing even a pillow fight or two
Hey there @scarletPear1945 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
That does sound like a really nice pillow fort. I would totally bring my stuffed animals as well and some snacks and soft lighting does really sound like it would make it even more amazing :)
Pillow figths sound really awesome as well and just generally having your friends around with you :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark
You always say such nice things. Thank you for all you do here for us and for your commitment.
