A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

My person like that died last year and I'm still not okay.
Edit:
I appreciate the outpouring of support here.
Story time:
I grew up in an abusive household. My mother had BPD, and my sibling was the golden child. I was the scapegoat.
When things got too hot, I could just show up on my person's couch, middle of the night, and the only question ever asked was what I wanted for breakfast.
I've since moved across the country, but I ache for that sense of security again. Somewhere where I was always welcomed and never made to feel less than. Now that they've died, I fear I'll never find it again.
It's so hard to deal with, but I need help since it's been 14 months and I still cry near daily.
I've got an appointment later this week to get some professional help, because I don't think they'd appreciate the mess I've become since their passing.
Wish me luck.
my heart aches for want of two things:
that a hug could be meaningfully transmitted through the internet,
that you would be willing to receive it.
... i doubt i'm capable of being That Person, but gods help me I want to be. I want to try. I hope i'll get to...
I hope that you can be too, even for just one person could mean all the difference.
