@DownMoreThanUp thanks for sharing back. It feels good to know that I was not alone with this. Really, I still haven't been shown or taught how to process my emotions. All I know is that I can't lock them deep down inside and pretend it didn't happen, like I have done all of my life. I know that you have to sit and feel the emotion, but then what?

I have not felt my normal happy, funny, bubbly self in since my partner died 23 years ago. He took a piece of my heart with him, and I have never been the same again.

The quotes are good to. Thanks for sharing.

@Bunniekins OH NO, I just went to support you post, and the bloody button is not working again 😩

Before I try and get some sleep, I thought I would share some of Ravenwolf's work with the lovely ladies out there ❤️

She never had anyone to pick her back up and help her rise again when she fell.

The only person that was always there..was her.

Through the heartaches, the pain and disappointments, she didn’t have anyone to turn to..and she was okay with that.

While the world sees a strong, independent woman now, there was once a broken little girl that learned never to depend on anyone.

It’s not that she didn’t have people to care about her, she just realized that she needed to forge her courage from the struggles of fire..

From within herself.

She always seemed to end up on broken roads chasing dead end love and trying to turn projects into partners.

She was strong enough for two people, and somehow, she inevitably tried to fix her damaged love interests.

She knew what she wanted and she wouldn’t stop until she found the happiness she knew she deserved.

She stopped wasting pointless tears on people that didn’t care and started loving herself for staying true to herself.

She didn’t have all the answers and often got lost trying to find her way, but she didn’t settle, quit or stop trying to elevate her life and find happiness however she could.

So, as she stood strong- a confident, independent and vivacious woman that amazed the world, she guarded her truths with courageous passion.

She’d make no apologies for who she was or accept treatment that was beneath her, and that didn’t always sit well..

Especially with weaker people.

Come what may, she’d keep chasing her dreams, loving her people passionately and living her best life.

All those secrets that the little girl had learned to protect?

A proud woman knew that the right person would come along someday and appreciate, accept and love every one of those imperfections.

Until then, she’d keep flying high and living passionately..

In all the ways that made her happy.

Proud, strong and free.

Ravenwolf

Ravenwolfe and Vex King can both be inspirational.

thanks @DownMoreThanUp 

@Mustang67  love the fabulous garden . What a project and memory with your partner.

@Dreamy hugs 

@Bunniekins hugs. Yes, even as we love our people who are suffering we need to do what is also best for ourselves. It was what put me firmly on the musical path. 

[Bunniekins]

@Mustang67   thank you for these great tools some are gems 😄  xxx

[Bunniekins]

@Mustang67   i tried to teach my children from a young age that they should be independentand not rely on others for happiness.  i certainly taught them that not everyone will like them and thats okay because they dont have to like everyone either.

I saw this on FB and thought it would be a good reminder for everyone.

Stay away from people who lie to you, disrespect you, use you or try to bring you down. It’s not being selfish when you protect your peace, it’s necessary. Some people only hang around to take advantage of your kindness, sap your energy, or hijack your support. The more you give it, the more they take. You don’t owe anyone a reason for you to leave. Love yourself enough to walk away from anything that makes you feel bad. And surround yourself with honest speakers and those who have higher regard for you. Your environment shapes your heart. Choose those who make you grow, not the ones that break you.

Neena Gupta.
