Happy Hippie House Party. “Make New Real Friends.”

Nice cats.

 

A good picture of you, too.

 

I agree....I just wanna get my hands all up in that beard!

 

you're welcome,piece...(ahah) :dizzy2:
will you tie knots in it? :bandana:

 

Hi Tyrsonwood. Glad you're here. I hope that Happiness is visiting you in your life. Cheers.

Hi peace. How is your world going????

 

hi hippies.. I had a family of bluetits in my garden & had a very busy few days as they tried to leave the nest & couldn't fly.. I came to recognize the plaintive cry & had to find them in the undergrowth & put them back.. It was stressful having to watch out for magpies & visiting cats.. I was out for a few hours today & they were gone when I got home.. empty nest syndrome! Last year they'd come back from time to time so, hopefully.... :daisy:

 

Hi Maura, Sounds like an adventure.

 

Bluetits come to my garden as well,Maura...I always put bread crums..
got a blackbird,2 wood pigeons and a magpie visiting..
bluetits are nice birds,very quick and lively..
i misread your posting at first...I thought you had blue tits(ahah) :bandana:
P.S..must be the potein I found close to your room==nr 14=third floor..




oh..good band with Irish roots=the Waterboys..

yes Tiger.. approach that potein with caution.. I miss the sweet twittering of my family of bluetits, but it's the second year they've used the nest.. It's made from bark that's been carved out to look like the hollow barks they choose in the wild.. I have a lot of doves coming to a hanging bird feeder, but lately a squirrel has been visiting & he wipes out their food.. he doesn't visit every day so I leave them to it..
how are your eyes Tiger? Not something you can ignore.. hi Kenny.. good to see the house you created still lives.. :daisy:

 

@Maura..the lazer treatment went fine..I can see very well for far distances..for reading i had to order reading specs..
but...there is a big but here==I still got pink eye problems=conjunctivitus.. :devil:
I hope it goes because it's extremely annoying and irritable...
and by the way...I can see you much better now..fact is==you never put a pic in here??
what's holding you back,dear Maura?
yesterday piece came to my room..she wanted a cuddle,she said(ahah)
she arranged her room very nicely...she's a gem of a woman.. :daisy:
this morning I did hear some Bob Dylan songs=so Mally moved in to his cottage.. :chef:
Kenny was sitting on a garden bench reading a book..clever dude he is..
I will pay a visit to Laci and Ben==2 very enthusiastic peeps regarding life,and animal care..
penguin is very busy..i'll try to visit him as well..
that's all the news about the house occupants..
any one wants to join in??plenty of rooms available...
P.S.it's good to see that tyrso has posted...so he stays in this house...

P.S..i'm going to a gig on saturday night==read about it in my new blog...

Hello hello hellooooo!

Hope everyone is doing well! I've been on hiatus once again trying to figure out my life, aha. I've been spending a lot of time at the local beach and enjoying that, can't go today since it's cold and rainy, waiting for the thunderstorms to start tonight. I was hoping to go to an observatory tonight, but it's cancelled because of the weather- BOO D:

Hopefully everyone is doing well and enjoying the lovely summer weather!

 

Hi Laci How are you ?

 

Was going to go hang out with my dogs, but it seems they're all asleep and disinterested in me right now, so I decided this was a good time to make a longer post

I'd really appreciate anyone in this house's advice on some things I'm struggling with right now, I value your words and know you'll have good insight for me

I've been really struggling with figuring out my life and finding happiness, I find myself locked in my bedroom a lot overthinking and getting myself worked up about things. To be honest, you could say I've hit a bit of depression. The last 6 months or so have been really difficult for me, my relationship of over a year ended in a complicated way, I had to drop out of high school my junior year due to panic attacks, I've really had a hard time meeting the regular expectations of someone my age. Due to my high anxiety, I can't drive a vehicle without panic attacks and I'm having an incredibly hard time finding a job because of my anxiety and inability to drive. I feel stuck in this "rut" that I can't climb out of. I hate being that person to be negative and complain, but I'm not sure what to really do about those things. My family doesn't understand how much is on my plate and tells me that I'm not putting in enough effort, that I need to move forward and stop "stagnating". People tend to view me as lazy and think I'm not driven, when in fact I'm deeply offended by that. I'm a hard worker and a dedicated one when I find myself passionate about something, I'm just facing different obstacles than other people are, and that's something a lot of people don't tolerate or understand.

I really appreciate what knowledge, advice, stories, and ideas that other people share with me, and I have a lot that I'd love to share with the word. I hope that people watch the way I live my life and learn to overcome their own obstacles and push through when things get rough. A few things I wish I could teach the world would be to treat others with compassion, kindness, and care, because we never know the things other people are struggling with and we haven't lived their life, so we don't have a perfect understanding of why a person is the way they are. I wish people were more kind not only to others, but to themselves. It makes me so sad when people are hard on themselves and don't treat themselves with the compassion they would treat others with. I just wish everyone in the world could get together and just do one big group hug, forget our differences, and at that moment decide that we are going to all live in peace, harmony, and diversity. Everyone deserves love

Hopefully everyone is doing well and I look forward to hearing from you all! I'm off to make some tea- I'll make sure to bring some back to the house. I have peppermint, chamomile, sweet, green, and orange teas- take your pick! I'll set the tea cups out on the table

 

I'm overall doing well Just about to go make some tea and then I'm hoping to go get my bellybutton pierced tonight. I loveeeeee jewels! Hoping they'll have a belly-button ring for me that has a pawprint or something on it, I love animals How have you been? What's new?

 

well...that's a long and honest openhearted posting you did,Laci.. :bulb:
all of us have gone through similar periods in our life...never think you're an exeption to the rule..
I can only say that when i was your age...i would not have been able to write like you wrote here..
I guess at that age I simply would have lacked the vocabulary(ahah)
insight is something we gather through life experience sometimes...
a depri feeling comes up and it's often hard to understand..or to fight it even..
did you and your boyfriend split up?panick attacks at school?
i reckon you have to lift up yourself and climb up towards a level where you can say
=fuck the world...I am myself..and nobody has the right to judge me or tell me HOW i should lead my life..
you know,we got some people in this house who will give you their 2 cents...
I am referring to Mally..he knows about life..so does Kenny and Tyrso..listen to what they tell about your posting...
and by the way==we got 2 ladies here who can tell you from their way of thinking what they think about your troubled life..
I'm sure piece and Maura can give you advice...and they will..
the purpose of this house is that in time of need we are like a close knit family...
If I am myself in trouble...I will let everybody know here as well..
I'm O.K...going to an open air gig on saturday==see pic==it's a GOA psy trance..
I feel not VERY well because I still suffer from pink eye...I bloody don't like it..
this was my 2 cents...just pull yourself up,Laci...and live your life..
did you say tea?allright...

first...some Finnish song..I love the piano intro in it...and the FInnish lady..well..beautiful...
it's a Christmas song...I asked if I can come to Finland to play father Christmas(ahahah)
P.S..i can speak the FInnish language...but only..with a hot potato in my mouth(ahah)

Thanks for your post, Tiger. That psy trance event looks awesome- wish I could go! Make sure to show us some pics of you enjoying yourself

My boyfriend and I did break up, yes. He decided he couldn't see a future with me and that the feelings just weren't there anymore, he needed time to figure out his life but still wanted to be friends. We still see eachother every day, but I'm not dealing with it nearly as well as he is, though I've gotten a bit better. I feel like I just need to have a little faith in myself and push myself a little more, but it's a long process and doesn't happen overnight. For now I just try to look on the bright side of things and find things that lift my spirits (tea, my animals, tv shows, good people, good food, etc).

 

@ Laci... The only expectations worth reaching are your own...



BUT, don't set the bar too high or too low. Challenge yourself but don't be unreasonable.

 

Laci...you remind me so much of my daughters. It will all come to you...in time. And I'll have peppermint, thank you.

 

I wonder what your daughters are like then I'm doing my best to be patient and wait things out, but I do find myself so frustrated that I don't have the answers. The break-up left me feeling very disposable, unconfident, distrustful. I already had confidence issues to begin with, so that's no good. The thing is, my life is overall great. I have a wonderful mom who is supportive of everything I do and puts up with much more than most parents would, I have all sorts of animals that I adore, I have a house, things are good. I just overthink about EVERYTHING and end up making myself depressed. I have plenty of dreams, ambition, I'm intelligent, kind, and one of the most selfless people you'd ever meet, but I tend to see the negative in myself more than my good. I tend to feel like, "Well, I've hit the lowest of the lows. Everyone else my age is going to graduate next year, they drive, they're planning to go to college, they have relationships, they have a ton of friends and everything is amazing for them. And then there's me- dropped out of school, can't get a job, can't get my license, no friends, no energy, no motivation. I'm never going to get anywhere."

That's a bad way to think and I know it, I just get so caught up in feeling like I'm not doing enough or I'm not good enough and get down on myself and my situation. I'm hoping with time I'll figure things out and I'll get where I need to be when the time is right. I find myself experiencing all sorts of convenient "coincidences" in life all the time that remind me everything happens for a reason and this is all part of my journey. Right now the journey just kind of sucks in some ways. Still trying to figure out myself and focus on the positive things like nature, good tea, my animals who love me to death and need me around to look after them, good food, inspiring people and things. It's things like that which keep me going.

PS- peppermint tea is my favorite
