Rambling Rosie's Retreat

Rosie,

I know exactly how you feel. But I can tell you that you aren’t a burden. Many people think it is the fun things that draw us closer to each other and help us the most and there is some truth in that. But, the hard things we struggle with, sharing those with others, deepens our connection while helping us process.

And while I know this in my head, there is still a part of me that sees myself as a burden. So I get it. Hang in there. You are definitely loved and appreciated!
Thank you for sharing. It's easy for us to see others as they are but it's so hard at times to give ourselves that same kindness and understanding.
No one here is a burden. We just all need to be good to ourselves.
Rosie, this is one reason I adore you soo much and you are wonderful.

Even when you are struggling you are there to help others and keep it positive.

I agree with @Saltfountain where when we don't value ourselves, we can find people like us.

Okay, I need to stop thinking I am not welcomed or a burden as well.
Oh lovely you are always very welcome here.
You are positive and kind and have reached out to me countless times and offered friendship. I am very grateful to you ❤️
 
Hoping everyone is having a good week 😊

I've been enjoying the cooler temperatures and the beautiful autumnal colours 🍂🍁

It's definitely a favourite time of the year for me. Time to bring my slow cooker out of hiding too.

Yes on the good week. Had cooler temps last week, and getting a bit of the 80s this week. I won't complain.

But I am ready for sweatpants, sweatshirts, soup and seeing the color change.
 
Nope can't do all year round...I tried wearing sweatpants on sunday, switched to shorts bc I was sweating. 🤣
Ha well I'm a northern English lass. There's only like two weeks of the year here where its that hot.
Plus I like being comfy and covered up 🥰

Unless I'm on a rare night out when my only protection from the cold is lots of shots and terrible dancing 😂
 
It's an enormous wearable blanket that looks like a hoodie. So cosy 😍

It took everything I had not to steal my sisters last Christmas 😂
Ohh I have one of those, someone tried to steal my buffalo plaid over his boring gray haha.

Will admit they are sooo cozy.
 
I often feel like I'm a burden.

One of the reasons I made this thread was because I was never sure how well I fitted in elsewhere (I've never been told I was or made to feel unwelcome, this is just how things are in my head) and even if it was just gonna be me talking to myself, at least it was somewhere to go.

I'm so very grateful that hasn't happened though.

Yes if I'm gonna share all the fun stuff I get up to then I'm also gonna share the real stuff too. My friends, of which you are one of my best, are here for me no matter what and knowing that, and believing it is so very helpful.

I am glad your friends were there for you when you needed them the most ❤️
I like how this space isn't just about me too. I want it to be a welcoming place for people to feel comfortable talking about whatever is on their mind. I know I'm not the only awkward af introvert around here 😁Hoping everyone is having a good week 😊
Sorry to be jumping back to last week. I actually thought that I had replied. 🙄
I'm never quite sure if and/or how I fit in around here and in social situations in general. Even though I know better, I'm still surprised when I see people, who I think are well-liked here, that feel the same way I do. I really appreciate being made to feel welcome here, Rosie and everyone else who have welcomed and encouraged me to join in this thread. While I enjoy the banter and fun stuff, I also appreciate the "real" stuff. 🌹

I'm definitely looking forward to cooler temps. It really shouldn't be 82F (27C) in October.

I splurged on a oodie 😍
I had to google this.

Shorts again today for me. Looking forward to jeans weather this weekend.

Okay, I'm curious and have yet to google or even be fully awake, but what is an oodie?
I had the same question.

When you're jogging from the car to the venue with your arms wrapped around yourself because you didn't want to deal with a coat at the club or show.
