Slowly learning to adapt

...even though it's painful and challenging me a lot... I have shared many blog posts about my emotions, especially during the last 3 months. I guess it's only natural, as I have been dealing with the worst pain and trauma, both mentally as physially. It's really done a number on me, as I've heard people call it, and it set me back quite a bit. I need to learn to deal with these feelings. I need to adapt to the new situation that is my life, for the time being at least. All those years where I was used to certain routines, the loving support of my gall, caring for her and always putting her first. It feels like, in a way, I am really not used to being able to "put me first". Of course I got some of that back when I got divorced. I got a lot of it back, actually. But still, when I had to learn to live on my own, for the very first time, I was lonely and afraid. And there she was, my soulmate, caring for me and giving me a reason to rebuild my life. And, as I adapted, my world was spinning around Arwen for 24/7. Sure, I managed to do things that I wanted to do. But my routine was mostly built around her wants and needs. She saved me, and now I had to do everything to give her the best life I could offer. She really deserved it... […]

Quereis infartitos espaciales? Queréis saber si podéis mover una turbina con vuestras propias taquicardias ahora que la luz se pone cara?

Routine parece mezcla de Dead Space, la peli de Moon y el Alien Isolation. Alimento para pesadillas.

Como bien ha dicho antes @pacogens , los juegos de tener que apuntar con un cachivache para poder ver es otro nivel dentro de los juegos de terror.

Y, la verdad, espero que les vaya bien porque el juego se anunció hace ya 8 años?

Para PC y XBoxes

#wss366 #Routine 5/23
#WordWeavers 23. Have you made up unique sayings for your characters? (I have now)

Her ROUTINE: jog on the treadmill, then check her flowers. They used most of her diminishing water ration but were worth it. The colors helped avert the ROUTINE dreariness of life, like the music broadcasts had, until that system failed.

“Hail, Passenger,” Stewart greeted her.

“Bother,” she thought. “Had he come to lecture her on frivolous pastimes?”

“Hail, Brother Stewart.”

“We missed you at worship. A lovely sermon on our glorious Captain.”

“Tomorrow.” Her faith in Captain was dying along with Ship.

“May your planet be fruitful,” Stewart said in parting.

“May the stars not lead you astray,” she responded.

War seit langem nicht mehr beim Friseur. Gerade dort angerufen & nach einem Termin bei meiner Vertrauens-Friseurin gefragt.

Da hat die letzte Woche einfach ein Kind bekommen! 😄
SO lange war ich also nicht da. 😅

Gehe ich jetzt zu ihrer Kollegin, die mir letztes Mal gesagt hat, wie grau ich werde &, dass ich für ne Frau doll Geheimratsecken habe, bevor sie dann nur noch über alles andere gemeckert hat? Oder bin ich super mutig & suche mir wen anders?

Menno.

Daily rituals include coming up to this viewpoint first thing in the morning and last thing at night with a lunchtime visit very often too.

Having a dog who needs plenty of walks is our excuse but we are always keen to see what show is being presented. This sunset is yet another variation. Is you look down my timeline you will see many more…

:bear_love: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos 💜

I always love interacting with new like-minded people. My biggest issue... I'm unsure of how to interact with them at first! 🫣 Which makes it very challenging to "meet" new people online that could become part of my Friendos...

For those new to this account and my silly way of writing: Friendos is a word that I use with love and affection! I wrote a Toot a while ago in which I explained the term, so I'll link that here, as I don't have the spoons to explain again...
beige.party/@PixysJourney/1130

As I wrote in my introductions, yes I made two and I think I pinned both, I'm Actually Autistic, I'm very ADHD, I battle with depression and anxiety, I may have some slight forms of OCD and PTSD, as I struggle with aspects from both... And then there's physical issues that bother me as well...

I would love to chat more, when I have the spoons, with people who, like me, are "weirdos". I'm a bit of a nerd, but not into the details... Not smart enough for that...

I love to chat about health issues, about my dog, about my journey through life, about music, TV things and gaming...

I do struggle at times with the whole "social" aspect of the social media. Either I babble so much that you are exhausted when I'm done... Or I just read and like your toots. I occasionally boost toots. But not that often as I probably should? 🤔

I have several other accounts that I use, and also occasionally boost things from. But this is my main account at the moment.

Put Beige master blessed us with something like 11001 characters to work with! I've never used them all, but I'm known to write longer posts. I enjoy using emojis as I feel they help me express myself. I try not to use them too much, as I don't want to make people that need a teen readers go insane over my toots....

I try to use CW when I feel that things may be triggering. I don't CW my selfies anymore, but I do tag them with the hashtag EyeContact and Selfie. So hopefully these can help folks to filter my selfies from their time lines. (I've tooted about eye contact selfies and this was what was suggested to me by kind people who voted/replied).

I'm mostly active during my countries night time. I'm a night owl with a different routine than most. But this works best for me, so I always mention it to others, so they know. I'm in the Netherlands, so that's UTC+2, according to the interwebs.

I have moved house two months ago. A new town. A new start with everything new, routine wise. It's been a huge challenge, and it still is... So I still Toot about that a lot too.

I have a chocolate brown Labrador gall, Arwen, who turned 11 in July. She's a topic of many toots as well. I occasionally share videos of her here. Sometimes snaps, which I also share on my :pixelfed: Pixelfed (and then boost here).
Edit: unfortunately Arwen passed away on 04/07/2025. 11 days before what should have been her 12th birthday. Her loss hit me terribly hard... 😭

I write for my own blog, which is mostly about me and my journey of life. My site van be found here: cynnisblog.wordpress.com/

So yeah... I share loads! And I love to share experiences. I love to learn new things about topics I'm interested in. And I like to "meet" new people who are kinda like me and would love to share timelines with me. 😊

Guess this is a sort of #Introduction Toot that wasn't intended as one, nor was it written like the usual ones. Guess that kinda sums me up a bit. Unusual :ablobcatangel:

I'll end the Toot with my usual emojis and hashtag and then I'll add some more tags to maybe be able to connect with more "weirdos" like me! :blobcat_tonguewink:
