The Cozy Corner

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.
It's huge though that you said something....I'm one hundred percent sure I'm not the only one who doesn't .... Look how everyone rallied! You must be pretty amazing and special to get that kind of positive response from a group of pervs
 
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?
If I make at least one person laugh/smile from a post of mine, I've done my good deed of the day.
 
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.....
Every experience of depression is unique, but if I can share a hard-won learning of my own in case it helps...

Give yourself space to not be okay. This isn't to say sit and ruminate in the depression. More, acknowledge it's happening without holding yourself in judgement about it, and give yourself grace because it's seldom a straight path out of the dark forest. Give yourself credit for the effort you're taking, and although it's hard, let the result of each effort be what it is. Perseverance will see you through.

I've been on and off Lit for a number of years. I'd be here for a few weeks or months and leave for a few years. I never felt "at home." This time around, I was feeling the same way until Cozy came to be and then suddenly, I felt I had to stay and I'm so glad I did.

There are a few special people here that I have grown to love and even more that I love to engage with in the threads. That being said, I'm here not to escape but to spread my wings with people that want the same and you all in this room have made me feel seen. I smile when I see all the posts I missed even though it's practically impossible to catch up. Lol.

Thank you, Cozy!

I’m glad you’re feeling better, but just know it’s ok if you’re not. Or if you are but then it comes back… you’re loved even if you’re not happy all the time!

Oh, it’s the people that bring me the most joy, definitely! And I’ve gotten so much joy out of the Cozy Corner - Lit was feeling a little bit slow before this popped up (so big thank you to @MidwestPrincess23 and @Shymidwestgirl !) I always smile seeing what’s going on here and when people reply with nice or funny or interesting comments.

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.

I’m sorry you feel like you don’t always fit in! I think you fit in perfectly - everyone here is so different that I think all fit in!
