Home from movie. It’s raining here. My furnace is running. I’m tired of coats, rain, and temps that require my furnace to be on.

We had a beautiful week here and I woke up to it nearly down to 32F and raining cats and dogs. I love the rain - it's a big reason we stayed here, but I NEED some sun!

Yep… I need sun too! I feel more motivated in general based on the weather being sunny and pleasant.

Cozy friends - Depression is trying to raise it's ugly head here and I'm trying to see the humor and the silliness of life but I'm having a hard time. Maybe it's the dreary weather after a gorgeous week. Maybe I'm not supposed to be home - instead I should be back in my career. Maybe this is residual depression that comes from being an empty nester. I don't know. I just know that I'm really, really trying to be silly (and mean it). I don't know.....

Hugs Carmen want to have a dance party or a pillow fight? (I’m trying to be silly with you and not be dismissive or disrespectful of your feelings).

Let me have my couple of glasses of wine & I’ll be as silly as you want!

Thank you, chica. I sometimes just need to write what I'm feeling - seeing the words helps me reflect and realize that my past isn't who I am now. Dance party would be so fun though!

How can we help?

The hugs mean more than you know, chica. I lived a huge portion of my life not letting anyone in - not even my husband. This... just typing this out and knowing you all see and respond - I feel seen and it helps me realize that the negative feelings and thoughts are just lies. So thank you!

Hugs to you Carmen. We're all here for you and know that there are better & sillier days ahead. Plus better weather.

This is why I'm so glad I decided to come back and decided to stay - thank you chica!

Me too, please!

Thank you, chica! You all don't know how this moment right here makes me feel - seen and validated. Thank you!

Dancing always makes everything better plus laughter and smiles. We're all here for you

And that's okay, we're here for you through the good AND the not so good. I'm sure with a few bad jokes from @Dayhoosier, some good food and the good company here, you can hopefully see some brightness ahead. You bring so much fun and spice of life to this space.

 

[LatinaCarmen1980]

I feel better. Seriously. I just need to write it down. I know my Cozy friends would be there for me - I almost didn't write it down but hubby reminded me how important it is to see my words.

What's lovely is that you can share as much or as little as you need. We're here for you, and the good thoughts and energy are coming your way.

Thank you! I am feeling better. I hate when this thing rears its ugly head - just some things remind of me some things and I feel like I'm almost back there again.

100%. That's why I have a journal. It's a great way of tracking the rises and falls and any memorable and beautiful moments in life.

Does some bad dancing behind the bar to this.

Taegul isn't the only one with a silly robot dance.

Ok, Now that the fog is slowly leaving my mind, here's a weekend Question:

What brings you the most joy in this place? Is it a certain someone? A groups of certain someones? Is it the escape? What makes you smile when you first log into Lit?

People being candid and genuine and sharing life stories. It's always humbling and thoughtful reading about different walks of life as that gives me perspective.

I'd say everyone here and I'm not playing favourites because you're all beautiful and wonderful in your own way.

What makes me smile? I know it's silly but when I get bad jokes in DM or a really awesome comment on one of my stories. But in general, Cozy makes me grin from cheek to cheek most of the time. Hope that answers your questions.

The awesomeness of everyone in this place and that I normally have a smile on my face while I read through the cozy corner thread as everyone is approachable, fun, and a delight to chat with.

We've got you.... We really really do.

Approach with caution lest you get a 2 hour rant about filter coffee.

Real quick then I gotta run again. I love the group we have here! Everyone! These threads are so much fun, and I love the laughing and jokes, even if I don't always fit in. But also want to say there is someone here on Lit that I don't always get to talk to, but when I do they make my day a little extra bright and I hope they think the same.

Most of the time I feel seen

Is it a certain someone? A groups of certain someones? Is it the escape? What makes you smile when you first log into Lit?

The same....feeling seen
I mean honestly I do like my jokes being laughed at no doubt about it.

But it's that people laugh at any jokes and that most of the time were all in on the jokes. And the darkness is a little less easy here.
