Spare a thought.

I wanted to create this thread so I can spare a thought to think about members I regard as friends and hope that when if they return they will get notified here.

I hope you're doing ok. You are missed.

I hope you enjoyed your last day of school, (I know I did!), and that you are chasing your dreams like you wanted to do.

I hope you are doing well. We all miss seeing you about this place. I hope you'll return when you can.

We all miss you and hope life is treating you kindly.

I haven't seen you for a while but I remember you weren't very well earlier in the year. I hope you're feeling better now and I hope you'll be back here at some point.

---

I hope you will get to see this, when you return. If you don't return I hope in some way you feel the message.

    I'm trying to escape from my PC and that made me stay and giggle like the mad woman locked in the attic in Jane Eyre (with whom I've always felt an affinity).

    Thin connections, that are hard to see, can be stronger and more impactful than you might expect.  Think good fishing wire -v- thick, cheap rope.  My "connections" are mainly rather 'other....I have to remind myself that they are real and they do matter.  We're not built for "content popular types"....and that's just fine!

    Watcha mate!  You HAVE been missed...sod the fire and the embers...look at the people gathered around the fire...all smiling at you through the half light.  It is sustaining Desp.

    Glad to see that you are very well (from my perspective anyway.)

    Hope you can spare us some company.

    A happy Number.

    Of course. We are friends, after all! Slight smile

    The world can seem a hard and discouraging place, as we know, it feels like an endless battle to be ourselves sometimes. It's very tiring. 

    Please know that you have friends here, DeSpereaux, I'm sure I'm not alone in missing your presence here. And even if it doesn't feel like it right now, the you that posted here is still you, it's just, sometimes it's hard to find bits of ourselves when adversity is keenly felt. 

    I'm ok thank you, at least I think so more or less. Fighting my way through life Slight smile

    I read some of the things I had written and I don’t recognise the person who wrote it, it scares me a little because it took that person to gain the concessions that I have gained, one day it will take that person to defend them and I’m not sure he’s still there..

    I don’t feel connected to anything at all..Sweat smile

    Thanks Pegg, I guess I’m doing fine, though I do feel a-little discouraged. It is encouraging that there’s a small ember out there for me and for my wellbeing. 

    Autism and neurology has a peripheral-quality to it at the moment, I guess the world is an endless-source of gaslighting, as the pull to my sense of inferiority is a hard-thing to find respite from. It would seem that the task of catering-to-my-difference is a daily-one that is all too-easy to neglect..Sweat smile

    I hope you are doing well Pegg, it is very-encouraging to know that you are still carrying the fire, I appreciate you..Blush
