I was 7 or 8 and one of the older ones said "you don't have to be like me"

A powerful memory hun. 

How are you? Wanna talk about it? 

[avant-garde]

@Jynx the last 18 hours have been very full on and exhausting and overwhelming...

*clutches my knees and rocks back and forth in the corner*

Discuss, distract? Whatever you need hun I'm here.

Currently dressing blister wounds, I volunteered at a half marathon this morning

It would be easier if this wasn't so triggering

[Jynx]

@avant-garde Oh ouch!! A rewarding experience? More tiring mayhaps.... 

I bet hun, maybe we keep it light for now? 

[avant-garde]

@Jynx yes please

[Jynx]

Of course dear one, with much hugs and softness 😌

Well it's iced coffee o'clock for me over here @avant-garde. I think I will go for a walk during my break tonight. The sun has been nice today. 

Do you have a good sunset watching spot?

There was a guy (and his wife) I stayed with while I was homeless... he was... he was condescending and authoritarian... there was a word he used when I was behaving not as he would have liked... 'poise'... this word very quickly turned into a trigger word for me... I walked on eggshells and avoided...

I knew he was a volunteer today and I didn't sleep last night as a result... I was terrified...
