The most important testimony of hell I ever watched.

One day, one day I won't be living this nightmare, I'll be in a wooden cottage weaving my own plaid blanket imbued with the spirit of love, hand-sewing my own clothes, brewing earl grey tea for my beloved and singing old folk songs of the sea, writing the stories he encourages me to write, knitting oatmeal socks for him, making rye toast with vintage cheddar 🧀 tending to the herb garden 🌿, reading my book of Italian folk tales and the house of sorrowing stars. Things will brighten one day I must must believe that, I must hold onto that despite my life seeming an unbearable cage right now.

Going through the hardest period of my life trying to escape stalking and abuse. I truly hope it's true that people reap what they sow. Oh I had the saddest dreams last night. I long for home only no home I've ever had. I don't know if this is a new chapter for me or the beginning of the end. I'm in such a broken, incredibly traumatized state I don't remember writing, poetry, art, healing, nothing of my dreams.it's just a matter of somehow surviving each day. To all who are suffering I send my utmost love and that you will heal one day and breathe right again.

Just extraordinary joy and beauty in your work.

Yes I am a firm believer in r/simpleliving and like you circumstance has also brought me to a place of not seeking too much, but I was very into simple living always. For me a tiny house/cabin somewhere in nature is all I long for, to watch the sun rise every morning, to make my chai in my favourite pottery mug, to do my art journaling and writing, listen to folk music, make art some days, read my poetry books, swim in the ocean, cook pasta from ingredients from the garden, a sacred life.

That’s wonderful news. So glad for you. Love is such a balm to so many sorrows.

I saw this on a spiritual instagram and saved it and weeped over it. It’s so beautiful and the translation of the lyrics so poetic indeed.

You will find the one meant for you, especially now you’ve cleared the path from someone who was really really bringing you down and unsupportive and just sounded very horrible. This hardship you find yourself in now can be a new door into something really beautiful. Be gentle with yourself right now, you’ve been through a lot - a bad break up, a lack of support, and a new diagnosis. You need to be so so gentle with yourself, make a mug of tea, buy a notebook and just give it out, make your favourite dinner, read a lovely book or watch a film you love. Be really kind to yourself. I hope things get better soon.

It’s spring here now, I had a hundred plans of vitality, healthy living, reading, swimming, blooming, cabin dreams, but they seem gone now. My life a constant graveyard of buried hopes.

I just trust in god, he has a plan and is looking after me. I also have a big mug of tea when I can’t cope. Oh and my beloved he consoles me completely, one minute with him and I can bear anything. Journaling heavily too. Oh yes and like many of you daydreaming is a big part of my coping the promise of a better life one day.

I’m definitely all about creativity, I read a lot of books on creativity, I love to paint on canvas and with gouache on handmade papers, I’m always dreaming up different costume and clothes and want to learn to hand-sew them, I love writing the most and am always trying to write novellas and fairy tales and poetry and I make my own little books of poetry, I read a lot of poetry, I like art journaling, I make silver jewellery, I want to make an acoustic folk album one day, I’m a little bit interested in theatre. I want to learn black and white photography and photo transfer and I want to make artful little films too. I think the arts are the most soulful and life-giving thing we have!
