@Redemption thank you so much, that's really kind of you to say. The same goes for you as well
No worries, I really mean and thank you to you too I hope you're ok today @Nemuritai
Hey there @eylah
i’m tired. can’t wait for bedtime aha
Aw same here, honestly
Hey @eylah, it's great to see you
hey lovely! im not so gd. hru?
Honestly I'm not the best either, I've just been remembering some painful things recently. I'm holding up okay though
Hey @Nathan - I really appreciate that, it means a lot. Are you free to talk for a bit?
@Nemuritai I am. How are you?
I'm not doing great, to be entirely honest. I wouldn't want to trauma dump or anything like that so I won't go into too much detail, but I've been struggling with processing some painful things that happened in the past and it's really difficult sometimes. Especially since I've never really been able to talk about it before, and my parents act like nothing happened which is really hard.
@Nemuritai I just wanted to say, I'm more than happy to listen. it's not "trauma dumping", it's opening up in a safe supportive place. It's not a bad thing to do. Think of it as just getting all those things bothering you off your chest. If you ever feel comfortable talking about them, you don't have to hold back here if you don't want to.
And it sounds incredibly difficult to have to be dealing with that. For what it's worth, i really understand struggling how to process past things, and how much of a toll it can take. There's no exact right or wrong way to do it. Each person copes and process's things in there own unique way, but having unsupportive people around acting like whatever it was didn't happen must feel incredibly isolating.

@Nathan Thank you, that really does mean the world right now, honestly. It's such a relief to have people here who listen, and just to chat with in general.
And for what it's worth, I can really relate to that feeling of looking back and grieving. My own circumstances growing up meant i missed out on all the typical childhood, teenage and educational experiences too. And even though our circumstances are different, I think i do understand the exact grief and pain your suffering through.
And about getting upset over hearing kids say that, it's okay. Grief isn't always about thinking in precise logic and rationalisation. Sadness over seeing people take for granted what you always wish you had is entirely reasonable, and it's an okay reaction to have to it. It isn't unreasonable.
One thing that helps me when the grief is the heaviest, is remembering that whilst nothing can change the past, or give back those lost times and experiences, the only things we can do is change our future's. And you're already building and making plans. That takes incredible perseverance. So i do just want to say, you should be proud of yourself. How you feel is entirely valid and normal, and i wouldn't wish that grief on anybody, but your doing an amazing job making it through each day and making plans for the future. Well done.
(also sorry for the slow reply)
I hope you know there’s nothing wrong with you and you’re absolutely someone worth caring about and staying for.
We are here for you and we aren’t going anywhere Jazz.
It's really difficult to look back and know that there's nothing I can do to change anything, and sometimes I really wish I could go back in time and comfort my younger self, though of course that's not possible. It feels like there's a huge hole inside me where those experiences should be, and although I hope to rebuild some things when I'm older, it doesn't feel like I'll ever fill that hole.
I know that because of what happened, finding employment will be a lot harder when I'm an adult, but I really want to work with children if I'm ever able to, and I think a bit part of that comes from wanting to give other little children the experiences that I missed out on, and making sure they're safe and supported. I suppose it's a good thing that what I went through can be channeled into something like that, and I feel like it'd be really healing, if that's ever possible.
Anyways, I really do appreciate being able to talk about things, and it really means a lot that you took the time to chat. Take care of yourself, you deserve it
Sorry @eylah i was just replying to someone else. I haven't seen I'm a celeb since lady C was in it if you remember that one?
@eylah I'm sorry your post got ignored, I honestly didn't see it until now. We do care about you
i’m just crying my eyes out. my heart feels heavy with sadness.
@eylah you've got absolutely nothing to say sorry about and you are in no way shape or form selfish. You've been through so much, yet despite all that pain you've gone through, you still have that same kind heart you always have, and support so many people on here despite that pain. You are not selfish at all, i promise you that, and you are absolutely not a horrible person. You've got the kindest heart in the world.
I'm so sorry you're suffering through all that sadness and pain. If you want to talk about it, or even just talk about a different more jolly topic, whichever you want, i'm here for you my favourite twat in the world
thankyou so much my favourite twat
off topic but i just made this in minecraft haha
winnie the pooh 🥺
@eylah it's entirely true what i said, and i think everybody on the mix would agree with me on that. And that looks so awesome. Also, that looks like an amazingly well designed castle in the background btw too. I absolutely love minecraft. Ooo, can i show you something i made a while back in it?
