Jim's cafe Monday 14th September

[Champagne]

Good evening peeps. Today hasn't been a good day for me, a lot of crazy anxiety but i'm fighting it and I won't let it win. How are you all doing?

Today is @Lekatt 's birthday, happy birthday to you, cherish the moment and I hope you have lots of love around you and many more happy birthday's to come.




Today I want you to share any quotes you love or live by, meaningful, creative or just any poems or stories, lyrics, pictures you've taken or drawn or painted.

My personal favourite quote is; ''When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long''.

@searches A post just for you, you're new here and we care about you and want you to feel even more welcome, come and join us. The cafe is a great place to make friends and I am so glad you are finding SF helpful already, here's to recovery

 

[Sevven]

I'm not positive how I feel about this one, it could be stronger, but I wrote it for you guys

 

[Sevven]

Another favorite, so much so it even inspired a tattoo for me:
Weather
Linda Pastan

Because of the menace
your father opened
like a black umbrella
and held high
over your childhood
blocking the light,
your life now seems

to you exceptional
in its simplicities.
You speak of this,
throwing the window open
on a plain spring day,
dazzling
after such a winter.

I like that one, but does it still count if the someone is yourself?

It counts, my friend Amazing quote - thank you for sharing @Egg119

It does count indeed, though usually our own opinion stems from someone else elsewhere or from the past... And yes, we are for sure the hardest person to convince. But yeah, if you want to be consistent in your compassion, you gotta give the same amount of it to yourself as you do to others you care about.

That was from @Auri post, but it didn't quote properly. I made a mess of it!

Oh I misunderstood - it still counts im my humble opinion.

But yeah, if you want to be consistent in your compassion, you gotta give the same amount of it to yourself as you do to others you care about.

Self compassion is SO important, I think a lot of people don't realise the value of it but those that do can definitely feel better about themselves no matter where in life's struggles you are

 

[searches]

Hello all! Happy birthday @Lekatt and thank you for the warm welcome @Champagne!

I hope to become a regular here and make many memories and friends as I head down the bumpy road of recovery.

 

[Champagne]

@searches I really dig the one about life having to be re-made like bread, that hit home with me, thank you so much.
