Hello @Oaktree
My name is Sophia 1...
I have read the thread about virtual something....cannot even remember the original name...that is how quirky the whole thing is ...
I read about people having so much fun together...
being able to forget about their real pain in their real world in a virtual world...a world that can be whatever the story tellers want it to be...
There was a huge green XXXL blanket ...it has grown in size because more beings seem to be gathering there...
why not,,,it is extra cosy...
I remember that you made a very decadent extra moist chocolate cake for all to share that went so quickly...
Do you remember the fun that we had when we were together....when we loved being together....
we did love being together didn't we meggle.
horrace and little bee and gum nut babies.. the black beetle read along....aloysius grumpily flew over every now and again...
piglet made a huge spread of sandwiches...
oh and eeyore made .....scotish shortbread...which I have never tried before...I have tried scottish shortbread but it was nowhere near as nice as the scotish shortbread that eeyore made.
I hope that I have not written too much
My character was Tiggr who bounced around for most of the time...

Hi @Oaktree @Sophia1 I can see a real care from both of you for each other - often we feel the most hurt from those we care the most about. Whilst I have seen a lot going on tonight I can also see that you both have very real and genuine feelings of friendship for each other - and that is wonderful. Unfortunately we can often read more into things that are actually there - especially in the online form - but that does not mean that this has to be the end of it. You have both expressed your feelings but as @Sophia1 has said - it can be a new start from here. There is a very genuine extending of a hand here and that amongst all that has happened is something that is very special. Take each other's hand and walk forward from here - and in doing so know that both of you are very valuable members of this community and are both very much wanted and cared for here. Hugs and hugs and hugs to you both - you both have a very special place in my heart and I hope you can begin to repair your hearts by reconnecting in the beautiful way you have done through your own kind hearts so often here in the forums

Hey @Sophia1
I do love Tiggrs' blanket but I prefer my purple one. Purple is my favourite colour.
I miss all my old friends from the virtual whatever you call it thread.

Hello @Oaktree
now introduced to me as Meg.
Do I want to be friends... We have always been friends....
Just confused...stressed...overwrought...weary.....trying to please too many people and pleasing none...
living in a world of unwell minds which create havoc...
yet...
yet we have discovered a way of escaping that temporarily and having fun...
as you said somewhere.....how do I tell the clinic (was it) that I am having difficulties with my imaginative friends (something like that)..
priceless....at the same time ....precious..
did you read my other answer before this one about the xxxxl green blanket now?

You are both people here @Sophia1 @Oaktree that I like and admire ...and to see either of you in so much pain tonight has been hard. I know it happens here but we are also so connected by both our strengths and vulnerabilities - we have seen the latter now lets draw on the former. You h=are both so strong and courageous and whilst it may take some time to feel that friendship ...and love agaon - it will happen. In sharing as much as you have with each other you have formed that bond - that will only be thrown away if you let it - and I don't feel like either of you want that ...so for the time being I am here with you both to let you know that you both matter and are so important. Love you both
