Aww @Racoon7 π My heart goes out to you as well. β€οΈ Keep up with positivity. Hope you'll recover soon. I'm not that familiar with PTSD so I really don't know what to say. π
Please take care of yourself!
Oh no. A ghost town? A cowboy movie? A tumbleweed? π I'm sorry I can't help it.
Seriously, I hope you're not talking about your map, progress, GBs and boosters. If it's the cake, can your team help you bake again? That's what we did.
Hi @ElenaVorona
I'm not sure if I have written all that I wanted to say to you. Part of the contents of my post kept on disappearing. I repeated numerous times. It's really testing my patience. π Different parts of what I have written have disappeared. So please pardon if you read any inconsistencies or anything that don't make sense.
Anyway, please hang in there and be safe. π
Aww @ElenaVorona my heart is with you! β€οΈ I'm crying right now. The tears just kept flowing. I can't imagine the pain and fear you and everyone else around you are going through.
I only had a snippet of idea when I travelled with my Mom in Israel and at that time there was a bombing where we were staying. Six has died. It was terrifying.
The thing is with you it's not the past but ongoing. Might not be the same but similar to someone who is suffering from debilitating illness. The pain is also ongoing.
Forgetting is not the same as dwelling. We don't forget what happened to us. It's impossible to forget unless we suffer from amnesia. Dwelling is holding on to it.
You asked how can you detach yourself from this. Since I'm not in your shoes, you're the only one who can help yourself. Try to find a way to remove yourself from what's going on in there. I'm not talking about physically but psychologically. We have this survival instinct within us that help us cope and deal with the trials and difficulties we're faced with.
In my case, it's my faith. It's the center of my life. I believe in God who loves us, His children. I pray constantly.
I hope and pray that the war in your country will end soon and no more casualties. I also hope and pray that you and your love ones will be kept safe from harm.
I don't know how to comfort you. Deep down my heart is aching for you. Please take care of yourself.
@ElenaVorona I'm very sorry you and your country are having this unimaginable tragedy happening every day.ππ I didn't know you are in the Ukraine. I will have more specific prayers for you now. Is there something specific you would like me to pray for?β€
Awwww I'm certainly saddened to read this!! So sorry π π ππ
I am not good with words. I thank you both. Your words are strong, and I sense them with magnitude.
I have recently suffered from PTSD, I thought how lucky I was. This is nothing to dear Elena and what she sees day in day out. People have forgotten about Ukraine π₯ My recent experience just reminding me life could be over in an instance.
π€π
My screen went back to square one today, now I am on my own. All team achievement lost, and it is like a ghost town, like an old cowboy movie with the tumbleweed.
I do not know how to explain to you. I communicate using Google Translator.
Imagine that an air bomb fell near your house and now you no longer have windows. Instead of windows you now have holes.
Or, for example, the rocket flew into a neighboring house (5 or 9 floors). And now this house is no more. And there are no people who were in this house.
All this is out of my control. I can't influence this.
But I canβt forget about it either. These are things/events that happened. I hold it in my memory, not because I want to. It's simply impossible to forget.
You said that bad things should not be held in memory to the point that they consume us. What should I do if these events happen in my life every day? These events occur several times a day. How can I detach myself from this?
Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Honestly I don't quite understand what you mean with what you have written and I might not be able to fully understand even if you explain it to me for I am not in your shoes. I have no idea what you're going through. I don't know if we're even talking about the same thing.
What I meant was not to keep holding on to the bad things that has happened in our lives to the point of consuming us because we are not in any position to change anything for it's out of our control. For me it's my way of survival. I have learned this at an early age. None of us are exempt from experiencing bad things. Maybe in different degrees but still painful to all.
You're the friend of @Racoon7 that she's concern about. I'm praying for you and will continue to do so. π
I don't like Thomas More's Utopia.
For example, because there is slavery on the island of Utopia and no one in Utopia cares much about it (and neither does More).
For example, because private property has been abolished on the island of Utopia. I don't know who might like this.
Etc. There's a lot of "interesting" stuff there.
All my life I have loved reading science fiction. But I donβt like to read utopias and I donβt read them because they are not science fiction. These are some sweet dreams that writers have. And some of them cannot resist sharing their dreams with all humanity.
"Why dwell on things we have no control over."
I dwell over certain things that I cannot control because these things decide whether I will live in the next minute.
I feel the same way. Maybe that's why I feel that kind of connection with you since the beginning even without knowing your sense of values. π€
You kind of get some sense by how one deals with things or situations one is faced with. I love your attitude and positivity. I may not always agree with you on some things π but that does not change how I feel.
As you can see, sometimes I wear my heart on my sleeve. What you see is what you get. I also believe in love, honesty, kindness, compassion, patience, tolerance, gentleness and everything good that can make this world a better place if everyone observe them.
Unrealistic as it is, it shouldn't stop us from practicing it. Sometimes it only takes one person to make a difference in this world. Love can soften even the hardest of hearts. I have seen that in my life.
Another thing...I speak my mind, take things lightly and laugh a lot, and have never been afraid to voice my opinion so I hope you and our friends here can be patient with me π and tolerate my quirks, silliness and sometimes off the wall humor. βΊοΈ
No, I havenβt, but I understand its essence.Β
I once saw a program about a (real) island where a tribe lives according to Utopia standards. There is no rich and poor, no money but barter, no internet etc.
In my ideal world (utopia) we have no hatred and envy, there is no such thing as rich and poor. People are kind to each other and animals, appreciate each other, don't lie, and care for each other. There is no war.Β
Well, as I said; that is a utopia; that will never come true. People can try to aspire to it, but it isnβt realistic. There are too many differences, too many rulers; the world we live in has so much hatred and envy.
But I try to live it and be positive. I believe in wishful thinking π Negative thinking attracts negativism, and hopefully with positive thinking I can achieve a better world (someday).
@Yosca π I have seen you mentioned utopia a couple of times. By any chance, have you read Sir Thomas More's Utopia? I only have read a short version or synopsis not the whole book so my knowledge on this is limited but enough to understand where he was coming from.
Why not? Life is precious and too short. Enjoy it while you can. Everything is passing only God remains. Have to be grateful for everything even in the midst of pain or difficulties. Why dwell on things we have no control over.
I must be living in Utopia (no place) the world could ever understand. βΊοΈ
Always trying to π»π
On the bright side π
OK @SApple2 So you could have collected the boosters from 4 layers if you were logged in to the event π π€ sadly I was not π²
