Whats it all about...i really dont know.

[secrets22]

Apart from 2 special people in my life,my greatest loss has been losing 5 dogs over the years,2 especially,Billy and Eddie, were my shadow & I miss them dreadfully,i really cant bear the pain of loss,it tears me to bits,and i just wsh i was'nt so sensitive,i get reccuring thoughts of 'could i have done more' its those times alone when the pain is so raw.

I think life is unbearable at times,and i really dont know what its all about.

We are born,and in the early years we think the world is our oyster, but through the years most of us will go through times of immeasurable sorrow,some things we cannot eradiate,but some things we manage because we have no choice.Its a tough world we inhabit.

Without being morbid i do question why we are here,I have had glimpses of a fulfilled life,but they have been few and short lived,and i guess nothing is forever,and so we trudge on just wondering and wondering.

The two little dogs that i still have bring me purpose and the reason i get up in the morning,for without them i would be done,and we should never underestimate the goodness they bring.

I am fortunate that i have many friends,but its those times of aloneness when we feel the most vulnerable,and some of those friends share the same sentiments as I.

Ahh, that’s the age old question , why are we here, I suppose it’s up to us to make our lives as meaningful as possible.

how did your jubilee party go 🤔

You are lucky to have many friends. I have my husband and family, outside of that l have only one friend I see fairly regularly, l often long for even one more. As l said before on here, outside of this online site, people somehow don't take to me very well in everyday life.

I have struggled in workplaces because of this, been hurt by people's attitudes, and I am friendly.

Sorry for the rant, I've gone off the point of your post I know, but do cherish those friends you have, l feel a void by lacking in them. I too have a beloved dog. I dread the day I will lose her. She is now 10.

A therapist just reminded me “you are enough just the way you are - breathe”. But when you don’t feel like much, that is not helpful. Remember right now is ok. You can get there by practice. Do you agree?
