Let go of the things that no longer serve you... Let go of the pretense of the false persona, it is not you... Let go of the armor that you have worn for a lifetime, to serve the expectations of others and, to protect the woman inside... She needs protection no longer....

Lauren, please do what you need to do for yourself. I don't think anyone here feels like you've harmed them.

Also please know that we are here for you as much as you've been here for us. It's a two-way street and it's OK to receive sometimes.

Sending you love,
Pema

I am sorry to a lot of people. You deserve better.

I am sorry. I need some time to sort myself out. I am going through some stuff and I have to deal with it. Not here.

I am sorry for people who feel hurt.

I will see you in a few weeks, or months. Maybe. I am sorry. I love you.
Lauren, you will be missed your presence, your voice, your spark.

Take whatever time you need. If you ever want to talk or just need someone to hold space, feel free to reach out in DMs.

Wishing you clarity on this leg of your journey.

I can't do it. Being away from something that makes you happy, in order to be alive, is the worst kind of choice. Not that it would probably make much of a difference. But... I might be quiet for a while, but I can't stay away.

I can't say too much. Just... I'm dealing with a lot, and sometimes it puts me in a bad place. I try not to bring it here, but sometimes I can't help it. I have hope. But giving other people hope makes me feel better. And I can't cut myself off from that.

If I act weird sometimes, I am sorry.

You're sweet, Lori. Thank you. <3

I think y'all are far better, though. :)

Well, I know how it feels to be away from a place that makes you happy. I have been offline for ten days. It was awful.

Fortunately, I am back and get to see your smiling face and lovely pink hair.  :-*

Thank you, both of you.

Sometimes the way I express myself isn't how I want to express myself, that's kind of the issue, lol. Sometimes I let stuff get topside of me and bring it to a place where it shouldn't be. But I get your point.

Maybe I should not try to be the judge of it all. It is a bit hypocritical when I don't, as a rule, judge others. :) I am glad this place has approachable, understanding, kindhearted staff. It's kind of a rarity. :) But more than that, just decent people.

Anyway... I have been looking into going back to work. Which will be a challenge in itself but it's better than just being alone with my thoughts. I can do most of it from home so there's no major logistical nightmare. It's only admin for a charity (British Heart Foundation to be specific... my mum died from a heart attack so if I can do anything to help people be more aware of heart health and support for others going through it, you know).

It's only a voluntary position, nothing like super mega special. But every little helps. It will take my mind off stuff I'm dealing with and hopefully help other people with their stuff. I'll know more in a couple of weeks. I can push pens with the best of 'em, lol. So hopefully this will be a good thing.

I think that is a wonderful idea. Here in the U.S., there are many charities and volunteer organizations that are staffed by retirees. They enjoy helping people and want to keep busy. I think you would be good in such a role.

I did it before um... my incident. After I came out the Navy I went into my local council helping people coming here from other countries to find housing and giving them what help I could. But I kind of got fired from that because the red tape really annoyed me. I went behind my boss' back and did stuff I wasn't really supposed to do because I couldn't stand the idea of people being on the street because of idiots in suits and whatever saying "Oh we can't do it!" when we very much could. So... then I went into that role because I dunno, I guess I just don't feel right unless I'm helping other people. A character trait I guess.

I just... want to help people to not be scared or alone, or like to be there when they don't think there's anywhere to turn, you know? I guess I'm just that kind of person. It's not really about the money, just to be able to sleep at night.

Thank you, Ash. I kind of feel like you are here, too. And like that's part of why it's okay. There are so many wonderful people here that no one will feel alone. Y'all give me too much credit sometimes. Just look at who you are and what you do. Don't need to be a light when the whole of Susan's is radiant. <3

But hey, if you want that slightly neurotic edge... <3
