Living with Loneliness

[Lila3]

Breathtaking poetry. I was once homeless & this takes me right back there. I'm grateful 🙏🏼 for the roof over Mt head today.

Hello @tonys thank you for sharing that heart rendering poem. You always write so beautifully and have a great talent for expressing words on paper. I wish I could write the same way as you. I know life on the streets is hard and how it affects you to this day even if its a long time ago. I'm so sorry anyone has to endure that fate especially for you - a man with a golden heart.  I love the way you forget no-one on these forums and you are always checking in in everyone equally.  I'm hoping that life gets even more better for you and you can maybe one day leave those haunting memories behind.  Your writing is a special gift for us all, an outpouring of beautiful emotion that just captivates the senses whether its either beautiful or gut wrenching. Your words just convey a lot. I never knew the english language could dance so much until I met you on Sane as I have read lots of beautiful literature from published authors. Your words are like a healing balm over an open wound. Thank you for being on here with us. I will always remember you tonys, your acts of kindness and presence on SANE. I don't remember many people over the course of my life but can count you as one of the because of your soulfulness, kindness and charity. We all love you.

God damn you're good @tonys !!!

People ask me if I'm ever going to publish...have you or are you?? You Really Should

Oh Tonys

now I’m the one wanting to give you a hug and maybe move some of that cold out of you heart! But I know it’s there and comes back to haunt and chill! I’m sorry if I bought it back! I hate it when my fear is back! It’s such a long road back to warmth and sunshine! I hope I can send you a warm fuzzy by acknowledging your beautiful writing! You express your thoughts and feelings so well I can get lost in your world if pain! Wouldn’t it be nice if it was a novel we were planning! Getting awards for descriptive text! You are beautiful and I’ll read your writing all day even when it makes me cry!

hope your safe now and have someone to hug you! It would be so nice to feel warm caring arms for once! Thank you all! I’ll keep reading as you’re all amazing

Hey there @Doldip15 ,

Great to read your post 🙂

Hey-llooo everyone else too @StuF @SmilingGecko @Lila3 @tonys

@tyme Hello hope you are doing well, just back in from a walk. Feeling somewhat tired today for some reason

[tyme]

I haven't been on a stroll/walk in a long time. @SmilingGecko . I'm glad you were able to get out and about.

I have a new bike track/walking track being built at the end of my street which will be great. I'll take the kids on a bike ride as long as there aren't too many people. The kids are so excited 🙂

[SmilingGecko]

That will be nice @tyme I love walking tracks. You will enjoy that a lot out your way and the kids will certainly love it. I did not know you had children of your own. It must be difficult living with MI and raising kids. I'm childless.  Are you married, defacto or solo parenting now?  

[tyme]

Nah, they're not my kids. No thanks lol. I'm happy to hand them back. They are next door, but come to my place whenever they want. They are my sister's kids. @SmilingGecko 

I've got enough to handle in life and my MH to have my own kids....

[SmilingGecko]

@tyme I think thats a wise choice. I have known people with MI and they can't raise their own children themselves and are either heavily reliant on their parents to do the caretaking or the children wind up in foster care.  I guess every case is unique but I would not be having children. The world is overpopulated anyway and the planet can't sustain more people in it. I think more and more people are not having kids due to environmental reasons.
