Voicelessness and Emotional Survival > Voicelessness and Emotional Survival Message Board
Dear Friends, I'd just like your input on how I'm feeling.
Gaining Strength:
Twoapenny, I have nothing noteworthy to say and started to read and move on but I want to acknowledge,your posts on March 25. They are moving. Reading about your thoughts on what you used to love and your ideas about performing at festivals are so lovely and your meaningful conversation, was all so touching. So I just wanted to say how lovely it is to read.
Meh:
Haven't read the whole thread. Only read the first post right now. I've cut off relationships, I've seen people I know do it, after a personal change occurs. My opinion is that it's something that seems to make sense emotionally in the short term but maybe isn't a good idea in the bigger picture. I'm not sure that needing to control our environment and everyone it in it is a sign that we have changed, its more like trying to control something we felt challenged by, threatened by. Especially if that friend hasn't contributed to your life any serious negative behaviors. Anyhow I haven't read your whole thing so it's a delayed response. I mean if something in your life is out of control and it radically needs to be changed then for some reason I think there is the tendency to react strongly in a sweeping sort of way. Literally just sweeping everything out. An overused cliche. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, or at least take some time in doing it to make sure it's the right choice.

Thank you, GS, I am enjoying going through a good phase at the minute, I must admit, I'm liking the things that are happening and the changes that seem to be taking place, there is pain as well, I think there always is with change but the good is outweighing the bad and I am enjoying it overall!

Yes throwing the baby out with the bath water is a good phrase, G, I've been doing a lot of thinking, some people I do want around, others I don't, I think what's hard living where I do is that they all know each other so it feels a bit all or nothing when it comes to knowing them (they're all friends with each other for the most part and have been for many years) so I've been struggling a bit with how to move forward but I think I'm getting there slowly :) x
