Helloooo, Sisters @Appleblossom & @Shaz51 et al.
Sister @MoonGal is well today.
I am grateful that I have come to a decision this morning to pack up the past, the hurt, the fear of Mother and Brother into an imaginary chest and bury it at sea. I just need to stop processing, stop exploring, stop trying to figure it all out, stop trying to heal the wound, it is terminal. It hurts like an acid bath in my mind and adds pain to my body and strips my spirit of all joy. The past is done. It done me. Time to cut the ties that bind and bury the past. A Sea Burial as fits a woman who lives by the Moon and Tides of bipolarity. I will still of course be a daughter, but I don;thave to be a sister. And when Mum passes I do not have to be a daughter, and that will be a huge relief and probably grief, until then I can be in role of love and care and must, because life demands it.
I will to live in the now.
I completed one course on character and have a lovely shiny certificate of completion from a University with my name on it. I am working now on the last assignment for the course on Plot and by this time next week I will have another shiny certificate. I have enjoyed the process immensely and learned so much about the craft of writing. I am grateful to have access (and that they had financial aid and waived my fees). I look forward to studying setting and description next year.
I am grateful to have the tools, the mind, the imagination to write.
I am grateful I have a loving partner who supports me and listens to my newly written stories as I get anxious and agonise over the words.
I am grateful I have £500 and a room of my own.
