Not Coping

[Kyle1]

hmm... sounds like a bit of an oddysey you're on atm, @Birdofparadise8 

would that be a fair summation?

Or is it just me...

I feel like I'm on one of those carnival rides that plummet suddenly from beneath you, leaving you feel weightless, tho at the same time like a dull, leaden projectile. And you clutch for anything to hold onto, but find nothing...

What is oddysey @Kyle1 

[Kyle1]

oddysey... an Oddyssian like adventure, filled with obstacles, challenges, and peril before arriving where one belongs... @Birdofparadise8 (after the hero, Odysseus/Ulysses)

[Birdofparadise8]

Sounds very wordy hahaha @Kyle1 

Sure I'm sad, alone and hate myself and feel like I'm not getting anywhere. 

[Kyle1]

that's the thing with myths, @Birdofparadise8 

They make entire stories out of life events that otherwise leave us without adequate words...

Like overcoming Medusa; who could only be defeated upon reflection. To face her straight on would leave you petrified and immobile... 

[Birdofparadise8]

Sorry I'm a bit confused @Kyle1 

[Kyle1]

metaphors @Birdofparadise8  😄

They help us grasp the insubstantial, the obscure, the too large a thing, the inexpressible... 

[Birdofparadise8]

Oh okay @Kyle1 

Sorry

[Kyle1]

to put it another way @Birdofparadise8 

It sounds like you're on quite a heroes journey... 

[Birdofparadise8]

hahaha I don't think so @Kyle1 

I'm not a hero. 

How are you?
