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.... She is tired of hiding and more courageous than you know... Let her prove that to you....Let her step out of the dark and feel the light upon her face.... amg🌸

Quote from: Sephirah on December 12, 2025, 04:07:58 PMThe only theatrical stuff I ever did was a school pantomime back in infant school. Um... not sure what the Canadian equivalent is. I think I was about 6 years old. Landed the part of Jack's mother in a star studded production of "Jack and the Beanstalk". You know, the one with a hatred of magic beans, lol. Replete with volleyballs for breasts, a horribly garish dress, and makeup that looked like it had been applied via The Simpsons makeup shotgun. One of my friends got cast as Jack. The second we saw each other we corpsed like you wouldn't believe. I almost tripped over the dress twice during rehearsal. But on the night, we killed it!

There is no Canadian (or other nationality) equivalent: British pantomime is a unique theatrical art form.  One of our local theatre groups put on one that was billed as a "genuine British pantomime".  It was not bad.

I did see a couple of real pantomimes as a kid in Glasgow, at the St. Andrew's Hall (before it burned down).  Ali Baba was one, I think, and the other actually might have been Jack and the Beanstalk.  I remember that the genie appeared and disappeared, with the requisite puff of smoke, through a trapdoor in the stage floor.

I am alive. I need a lot of care at the moment, and privacy is kind of a fleeting thing. It'll be okay. I hate being so weak. But I guess better that than nothing. Was in the ICU over Christmas. Being held together with duct tape sometimes isn't so strong, lol.

I am sorry I haven't been here before now. I hope you all had a great festive period and I hope you have a great new year. I don't know how often I will be here in the near future. Lot of stuff going on. I'll deal with it.

All my love to you all.

Lauren. <3

Happy new year Lauren!

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Thank you. It'll be fine. Happy new year to you both! <3

People in Britain don't think everyone is part of the Cult of the Orange Messiah. We are just waiting until he's a footnote in history, and we can go back to being best buds with our friends across the pond. :)
