Happy Saturday to you! I am really happy to hear from you once again. heart

How are you feeling today? :)

How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)

I will not lie, this was a bit of a tougher week for me. These weeks are the ones that always remind me that being gentle and kind with myself can be tough at times but it is really important to practice some act of kindness towards yourself every once in a while still because you do deserve it :)


I mean, really, just small things can help a lot. Trying to just acknowledge the small things you are doing well every day, things that you may not acknowledge otherwise. Making your bed, tidying up the house a little bit, maybe washing some dishes - you are doing the best you can and you deserve to be proud of yourself for all those little things you achieve even through tougher days. :)

An other thing for me which I try to do - although, sometimes I forget about it - is actually write down compliments that others have given to me in a little diary-like thing which is really helpful to just pick up when I feel down. Also, just practicing some positive self-talk as well.

I would like to challenge you as well to do that with me now. You do not have to share it here but just take some time and compliment yourself a little bit and just practice a little bit of positive self-talk, let yourself know the things that you are proud of yourself :)

Of course, you can always share it here, if you want, I am always happy to hear from you but there is no pressure :)

As always, all of the above questions are optional, there is no pressure on you to answer any of them. If you would just like to stop by to say hi or just sit around with us we are always happy to have you around with us no matter what :)
Also, we have plenty of safe hugs left to grab, so get one for yourself here if you would ever need any. :)

I like that username. I do not know why but an anxious unicorn sounds kind of interesting anyhow. Uhm, either way, I hope that you are having a good day :)

@redmark

How are you feeling today? :) How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)

the past two days i have honestly been feeling a bit weird. yesterday i felt like i was not in the moment somehow, time seemed to just go by and i felt uncomfortable without any reason and like crying. I think this could be related to an event. I know its long ago, but around this time in 2016 i started to meet up with the person who turned out to be manipulative and a traumatic relationship lateron. I often feel really weird around this time and i feel like i am totally nervous and just feel like something bad is happening. So i guess this is related to the event. Also, i am currently watching this romantic TV-Show and for the first time in very long, i feel really lonely. I have always thought i dont need love or a partner and i believed it but now i feel like i am getting "weak".

Hey there @dynamicHemlock1736 *offering safe hugs*

It is always really nice to have you here with us! heart

Oww....anniversaries are always tough. I am sorry to hear that you are having such a tough week.

I am sorry to hear that you have been in such a relationship. It can really have such a big effect on you, something you have trusted doing things like that. I mean, I do not know what you have been through but I just do not want you to know that your feelings, however confusing they may be, are valid and so are you, valid and important. :)

I do understand it is tough tho but I want you to know that we are all here with you and together we can get throught this, I believe in you. However long it may take, I mean, I do believe that wanting someone to be there with you, romantically even, is not a "weak" although I knot it can be hard to just find someone and open up to them again but just take it one step at a time and you can get there. :)

Stay strong and awesome! heart

How are you feeling today? :)

I am alright. A little tired, but okay.

How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)

My week has been the same as it always is. I have a big Vet Science competion next week. I am really excitied! I am going to a concert next week, since my parents couldn't find anyone to stick me with, I get to go. We are gonna go see Three Days Grace, Fire From the Gods, Five Finger Death Punch, and Bad Wolves!!

Other Stuff:

I am sorry your week was rough @redmark. I hope it gets better soon, though. If it is alright, I would love to do the compliment journal too! It is a really awesome idea! If I was to put it on here, is there a specific place, or is anywhere fine? You are right though, recently I have been trying to put aside a small amount of time for my self, and it really has been making a difference.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day/night/week/weekend/month/year/life!!

Hey there @aiko123 *offering safe hugs*

It is always really nice to hear from you around here! heart

I am glad to hear that you are doing alright. I hope that you will be able to get a bit of a rest as well :)

Oh, that competition does sound really exciting for sure. Also that concert does sound awesome as well. I remember that I have had that Zombie cover popping up by Bad Wolves some times ago and I loved it. Now I wonder how their other songs sounds like...
Also, Five Finger Death Punch and Three Days Grace sure are a classic aaand, I will need to check out FIre From the Gods now as well :)
I...uhm...anyway, I just love to talk about music and get to know new bands and songs, sorry for rambling here like this tho :)

Ow, thank you, I am just have some things on my mind lately, but should be alright :)
I am glad to hear that you are liking the idea of that compliment journal. You can use this place for it or have a thread opened for you in your the diary section we have - you can have more than one of those at a time as well, if you want one for only the compliments - it is up tou you :)
Either way, I am happy to hear that you are practicing self-care like that lately and that it does help you :)

Stay awesome! heart
