You belong deeply to yourself

When do you feel most yourself?

I feel most myself when I am in nature, being creative like drawing or writing, running, and praying/meditating.

Watching my tropical fish in my little microcosm world and bird watching in nature.

Better than any Dr, or any of the 50 medications I tried over 50 years

That's an interesting question for me. In these last three years I have lost myself and now I have a chance to reinvent myself which I am really looking forward to.

At 56, who do I want to be when I grow up? Lol. Lots of opportunities.

Out with the old and in with the new! Wish I could squeeze into size tens! That would be optimistic.

Oh yes. The old is slowly leaving thank goodness. I'm sure you're beautiful as you are, size 10 or not! Thank you!

in reply toAll_alone

That's kind! I like to see myself as an old car needing modification rather than a new car which breaks down after a few weeks!

Being in nature... even if it's just seeing the hummingbirds in my yard (we have a pair that has made it their home). I get so happy when we go to our local zoo or when I see a deer or goats grazing. Also, when I get to see my nephews & niece... 💗

Beautiful

For me, when Im with me pets, my grandchildren this brings out the inner child in me.

I get lost in my running, especially when my runs are effortless and I’m just listening to my music and taking in the sights.

Hummingbirds are my absolute enjoyment when I’m sitting in my living room, these little guys intrigue me and fun to watch them chase each other.

My first veggie garden brought me pride to eat my own grown food this year.

I’ll echo about growing up... I don’t want to, I need things that keep me feeling young.

You sound a very young, free spirit

in reply toStarrlight

I’m miles from where I was mentally 7 years ago, which was not a very good place at all.

I’ve taken so much for granted, truly it’s the little things now, ever so small makes huge differences.

Love this, Starrlight!

I'd have to say when I'm with my husband. He's so good at keeping it real for me.

That’s so great MinnieMouse! You’re lucky. 😊

in reply toStarrlight

Thanks. I felt a bit guilty saying that here in front of you, but you did ask.

Are you doing okay?

Starrlight in reply to

Oh why? It’s all good! I’m hanging in there, thanks. 😊

in reply toStarrlight

Oh, sorry. Maybe I'm getting you mixed up with someone else who got out of an abusive relationship. So very sorry!

It's great to hear that you're hanging in there! After all, that's what life is all about.

No problem at all. There are so many on this site, it’s easy to mixed people up. Thanks for your concern. 😊 it’s all good

That’s so sweet, BobJensen!

We have to share ourselves, but inner self is important too with time for our

creative ideas. Need them both to survive.
