that definitely is sad to sit with @Bow those kitties are so lucky to have had you has their foster mum!! got my fingers crossed that they get adopted into lovely homes real soon.
so she definitely gets that creativity from you and your mum! those dragon crafts sound so freaking cool, but i would NOT wanna be responsible for cleaning up that mess 😅
this year we kept it very simple, we celebrated it last night instead. had takeout for dinner, honestly it didn't feel like 'mother's day'. how about you?

Within the image
What do her eyes tell
Of her tormented past
And her future so dim
Looking deep within
The sadness that’s betrayed
What could of happened
To have left her so alone
Where is that spark
that once shone so bright
Who stole that light
And left her in the dark
The stories to tell
Of her life and her doubts
All buried in her eyes
But only she will ever know
My life’s been a complete waste. I’ve done nothing. And don’t see how anything is ever going to change. I live with my mum. I’ll eventually become her carer if I get that far. She and my daughter are all that I have. Mums getting older, her health isn’t great. Once she goes, it’ll just be me and my daughter and when she gets older and leaves? No one. Alone. Just like it’s always been and is suppose to be.
It’s a very lonely existence. Sad. The things I have experienced, the things that have been done to me, horrible things. Things that are hard to comprehend. What even makes a child do that to another child? I just don’t understand. How? Why? So many secrets held so close to my chest. Words never shared.
I feel so broken. My soul shattered. Who can mend it? How can I even be better. So hopeless. Darkness smothering me, drowning, sinking. But none of it matters. No not I.

Aww @Bow 🥺
I think you will find your peaceful cottage life you dream of, one day. And so even on days like today when it seems like you're entirely lost in the darkness, I hope you know that dream still lives, that I will hold onto it on the days you can't. And I will sit with you here in the dark 🖤

Don’t really hold onto any dreams now @Jynx cause they are way too far out of reach and it’s just a tease to hold onto something that will never happen.

@Bow yep, I hear you hun and that is exactly why I am holding em for now. For now, you can just allow yourself to feel whatever you need to feel. I can hear how dark it all is, but it doesn't mean you're powerless or that it truly is as hopeless as it feels.
What sort of support might be most helpful for you tonight hun? Hugs 💜

@Bow definitely chatting, sorry I haven't been able to sit so much hun. Am a busy lil bee and sometimes get lost in my tabs lol. But I am here for ya no matter what, even if it takes me a while to respond 💜
Would you like to meet our new PSW? She's super cool, and since you're feeling lonely, maybe having a couple peeps to chat to might be nice? Up to you if I tag or not 💜
