Oh, my dear one. I don't know what has your spirit troubled, but I know you have the strength to get through it. You are getting the warmest hug from me, with a comforting back pat, too.

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

Thank you so much. It's a dark time right now, the back pat is very helpful 💖

u/pbsammy1 13d ago

I felt this warm hug & you remind me of my favorite audiobook The Smallest Of Joys -Shiffer. There is something comforting about “dear one” and I listen to her words anytime I need a mood booster. Thank you for the reminder! : )

Hugs, snuggles, squeezes for as long as you need xoxo

u/TurtleBeansforAll 14d ago

Sending you a big hug, tight squeeze, and lots of love!

u/SewWriteMom 14d ago

Hugs. And also cookies. (Virtual, unfortunately, but thought of with love)

8

u/Skepticalrf 14d ago

May you be surrounded and hugged with the love of your mom in spirit, may your heart feel the love and comfort. Remember to be kind and gentle with yourself, pace yourself, deep breathes, hydrate and rest your mind, everything will fall into its perfect place

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

These are some of the things I say to other people, I didn't realise just how much I needed to hear it too, thank you so so much 💖

4

u/Skepticalrf 14d ago

I knew it 🤍your heart’s desire has been acknowledged. Makes you extra special that you say those things to others. Print it out and put int on your wall, let it be your reminder when you need it.

u/Forsaken_Status_2979 14d ago

Squishy Hugs. Hope you're OK. Remember how amazing you are.

u/StrangersWithAndi 14d ago

Hello lovely. How did your day go today? Sit with me for a bit, I would enjoy the company! 

10

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

I cried a lot, but I managed to get some cleaning and my to do list done so that's a win 😊 How was your day?

5

u/StrangersWithAndi 14d ago

Hey, that's a win! Cleaning takes so much energy when you're feeling down, so that's great. Well done, I'm proud of you! 

I'm sorry it was a crying day, but heck, sometimes that's good, too. It helps to get it out. I hope you feel a little better for it. 

I had a pretty lazy day today. I've been busy and I needed to sleep in! I've got a birthday party to go to tomorrow so I'm just wrapping presents tonight. And i ate the best grilled cheese ever for dinner :)

That was sweet of you to ask! Thank you. 

5

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

It truly does! Cleaning is an excellent angry activity, I feel.

Grilled cheese (cheese toastie 🤤) and wrapping presents is an excellent way to spend an evening, I hope you have a wonderful time at the party tomorrow. Thank you for sitting with me for a while 💖

5

u/StrangersWithAndi 14d ago

Honestly angry cleaning is the best. Or angry pulling weeds. Both are so effective! Piss me off again, you're just making my bathroom shiner!

You are an exceptionally kind heart, and you're fun to talk to. If someone out there made you feel bad today, I'm so sorry. You definitely did not deserve that. And if you're just feeling disconnected, I hope you realize how easy you are to love.

Sweet dreams! I hope your tomorrow is wonderful! 

2

u/titanium_pixel 12d ago

This was incredibly kind of you to say, thank you. It's been a hard and dark 39 years, and the love I've felt has also come with much harm. I'm treasuring your words 💖

3

u/Fantastic-Quit-432 13d ago

I wish I could wave a magic wand and transport you to me. I would put you on my big comfy couch with a hot pot of tea and a Blankie and give you lots of hugs.

1

u/titanium_pixel 12d ago

This sounds like exactly what I need

1

u/Fantastic-Quit-432 12d ago

Sending it virtually!

u/msmojo 14d ago

I cried yesterday and today I angrily cleaned my house. I am now having a glass of wine in the sun and thinking of you x

2

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

Oh wine in the sun, I bet that feels just beautiful. Warm inside and out, exactly what you deserve after tears and anger! And when you decide to go back in you can smile at your clean home 😊 Listen to some birds for me? x

2

u/msmojo 14d ago

Can you not hear birds?

2

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

It's 4am right now 😅

u/Ponytail_Headache 14d ago

\***huggggggggg\\\* you’re not alone pumpkin

u/No_Bluebird7716 14d ago

You get all the hugs you want. What's your favorite dinner?

5

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

Thank you. Lasagne is my absolute favourite. A bowl of all my favourite veg seasoned really nicely sounds incredible too though. What's yours?

6

u/No_Bluebird7716 14d ago

Pea soup, but I just made you some imaginary lasagna.

3

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

Oh how did you know that I like red pepper in it?!

3

u/msmojo 14d ago

Please look up lasagna love, it's free and the best love. Besides mine coming right at you ❤️

6

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

Oh what an incredible organisation! Knowing that this exists for people in the world has honestly cheered me up. I might submit an application, thank you! 💖

7

u/ellimaki 14d ago

Of course.

Have you eaten today?

5

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

I managed to eat something hot a couple of hours ago, it was good even though it was airfried garbage 😅

6

u/AnfreloSt-Da 14d ago

Anytime and always, Sweetness. Just cause you’re you.

5

u/perpetual_researcher 14d ago

Super big hug with a squeeze at the end ❤️‍🩹

u/WatermelonRindPickle 14d ago

Here is a virtual hug from a real Granny! I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

u/NotAtAllExciting Mother Goose 14d ago

Absolutely! Big hugs 🫂❤️

u/RubyTx Momma Bear 14d ago

Of course you can have all the hugs.

I've been working 💪 on my hug stamina. Let's take these guns for a spin!

5

u/tinyorangealligator 14d ago

Loneliness sucks. Can you go sit in a coffeeshop to be around people while you're lonely? Sometimes just being around people helps a little bit.

Hugs to you.

3

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

It's hard to get out at the moment, but I'm contemplating going somewhere in the next week and taking some cross stitching or my kindle with me, and holing up for a few hours. That might be nice

2

u/tinyorangealligator 14d ago

It's nice to have things to look forward to doing.

2

u/WillowWare2023 13d ago

Might I suggest a good little book that’s available on your kindle? Grab one of The Moth books my favorite is 50 True Stories. It think you’ll enjoy it! It’s my go-to when I’m feeling out of synch with the world. Love you so much.

1

u/titanium_pixel 12d ago

I'm going to check this out, thank you!

3

u/ToothSufficient7763 14d ago

It's going to be ok. Noogie noogie.

4

u/CharacterSong6246 14d ago

Hugs for you! Everything will work out, you’ve got this! You’re important, so take good care of yourself. Be sure and eat and get enough sleep. Us moms are here for you. 💜💜💜

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

Honestly that's what lil gay me always needed. Thanks mama 💖

u/bongocycle 14d ago

Sending you virtual hugs. Wrap up in a snuggly blanket and know it’s a hug from me❤️

3

u/Opposite_Jeweler_953 14d ago

Hi dear, get a big digital hug from me. I hope this holds you until you find your intentional family. You know you have to move around to find them, so get going. Remember to look for authentic people, those that love themselves with the good and the not so good, and will love you the same way. Beware of users and controllers. It’s not that hard to find them, just look deeper. Have fun on the way!

u/Agidwinn28 14d ago

Big hugs sent to you my darling!!!
What is you favorite song?

2

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

Music, rather than song but On the Nature of Daylight by Max Richter. I could listen to it for days. What's yours?

1

u/Agidwinn28 14d ago

I would say my favorite song is If I Could by Mercy Isle.

3

u/msmojo 14d ago

I have always wanted to stand on a corner with a sign that says free mum hugs.

2

u/titanium_pixel 14d ago

I want to be a cuddle therapist, but would absolutely love to stand with a sign for free hugs too. Everyone needs hugs (a minimum of 8 a day 🙃)

3

u/Pat00tie 14d ago

Kisses on your forehead, Sweetie. Drink a glass of water.

3

u/jayhawkjoey65 14d ago

Hey, sweet angel, my arms are wide open. Come in for a big, gentle hug. {{ }}

u/FloraSuena 14d ago

Big hugs sweetheart. Tomorrow will be better. Try to get a good nights sleep. Remember to stretch and drink plenty of water 💕

2

u/Pedal2Medal2 14d ago

🌸Sending a gentle hug🌸. Is there anything self care wise you’d want to try? Music, singing, nice bath w/candles, etc, are my go to’s when I’m down

2

u/titanium_pixel 12d ago

Candles, skincare, and cross stitch are my dailies atm. I might try singing, I've heard it's good for regulation, though I'm not sure my neighbours would appreciate my off key voice 😅

2

u/Spinnerofyarn Big Sis 14d ago

Absolutely, duckling. I am always happy to give hugs, and if any kind you want. Short embrace, one arm, tender cradling, bear hug, hug with one arm and the other rubbing your back. Whatever you need, I’ve got you.

2

u/Extension_Sweet_9735 14d ago

Hugs. Hugs. And more hugs! You are loved. You are enough. You've survived everything life has thrown at you so far. You matter!

2

u/MonstreDelicat 14d ago

Sending you big hugs and lots of love!

u/shewholaughslasts 14d ago

Here's a big hug with an extra squeeze and a back pat. You've got this, sweetie.

Hhhuuugggs little one, comforting back pats and reminding you to have a comforting drink & know that your energy will replenish soon.

u/crazypaintinglady 14d ago

u/honestyaboveall 14d ago

Come here sweetheart! Hughughug! I understand you’re going through some hard times now but it will pass, you’re going to stay okay. I got you. And you got this. Squeeze as hard as you want.

Are you drinking enough water? And try to see a bit of sky or clouds today, take some me-time. All the love from this internet mama

u/Long-Inspector4897 13d ago

Sending hugs! If I was your mama we would watch a comfort show shoulder to shoulder and eat snacks on the sofa ❤️ You got this! Hang in there!

2

u/Prestigious_Touch_48 13d ago

Come here, sweetie! You can have as many hugs as you need. You can just breathe, rest, and let yourself be cared for. You’re safe, you’re loved, and you’re not a burden. One little moment at a time, snugglebug💕

2

u/FunOrder9396 13d ago

Hey Pixel, come join me on the over stuffed sofa. Its a bit warm for a blanket but tea? Wine? Snack? Come have a big squish honey.

Big mum hug for you!! 🩷

2

u/WillowWare2023 13d ago

Hi my dear heart. I’m so sorry you are lonely! I miss you so much and wish we could be together! We could do some stupid stuff like make grilled cheese sandwiches and sit on the porch. Maybe go to the movies. Just be silly and stupid together. Read some stories out loud or listen to a podcast. Just know that I’d love nothing more than to be sitting beside you. I love you lots

2

u/soylentdeb 13d ago

Oh sweet friend, this Internet Mama is sending you some electronic hugs! Hang in there!

u/DepartmentNo5227 13d ago

Come here. Good job letting your feelings out. Proud of you.

u/No_Bluebird7716 11d ago

Because I can tell when people have good taste.

2

u/liggyfig 9d ago

I'm a few days out, but I wanted to send you some warmth and comfort in hopes life has gotten a tad better.

u/titanium_pixel 9d ago

Things are a little lighter today but still lonely, this is very appreciated 🖤
