Nature is important balance for me @Appleblossom, however I also enjoy art and can get "lost" in some pieces.

Tired, so very very tired of being misunderstood. Even when I reach out and care and am kind. Others seem to be so assertive I feel bruised and crushed. Not sure I want to stand up all the time. Not sure I should keep taking on others shame and cultural injustices. Not sure how to protect my softness.
Grateful for a small group I have found where there is strength in music making and gentleness.

Never read many classics til much later. Finding words to fill in the gaps and join the puzzle pieces.

Love the Streeton @Appleblossom .
Arts can be balm for the soul
Sorry you're feeling bruised and crushed. I'm not sure I take on others' battles but try to bear witness to cultural injustices. There are so many, and the taint has crept into the election campaign - at least overtly. Perhaps it was there all along.
I hope you can enjoy the autumn sunshine

The situation escalated this morning. Over privileged people attacking my son again, using police to do their dirty work. It is evil. The actual police on my door were decent not the escalators pretending fear of violence. I am beyond disgusted.

Hey @Appleblossom I'm sorry to hear that's going on. Are you and your son okay?

Hi @Appleblossom as I said on another thread you are so open and curious about cross-cultural things.
You are supportive of others. I think it's a bit hard in text based communications to understand the nuances sometimes. There isn't that same back and forth to be able to clarify points during the conversation. I am very grateful for your interactions and support. Especially that you stand up for others.

Oh @Appleblossom hoping you and your son are OK. It's good the police were decent enough. Steady as she goes, don't let false accusations rock the boat.
Take care. We understand if you need some quiet time.
