When medical issues affect one's ability to do art
Haven't been able to draw or paint or quilt or write poems lately. Hense, I haven't posted any of it for awhile.
My back issue go back to the 90s, that got worse about 3 years ago, I need to use a cane most days.my mental health hasn't been great for a few decades but it has its happy times and scraping skin days and insomniac nights. Lately to add onto all of this is something new.. arthrtis. The pain is so horrific at times, it obiliterates the days I am having happy. Now the change in weather hasn't friggen helped, and pain management becomes the secondary interruption to doing art. I can't stand for very long before my back is painfully
Sea Shepherd and animal rights and conservation
I live in newfoundland. I am a Sea Shepherd supporter, and animal rights activist, and environmentalist, conservationist (got a diploma to prove that) and I am a vegan. That being said… given where I live.. I am in a group that is an ever growing minority. We aren't terrorists, we aren't breaking laws nor are we unpatriotic. It Is difficult where I live, to be the way I am and given where I grew up and that I was in the Canadian Army for just over 6 years, needless to say it gets difficult total to make folks hear about what I stand up for. I live in a province that deems Sea Shepherd as eco terrorists.. let us for a moment straighten

Not good enough
I know some of you may have felt like this at various points in your lives. most of my life I have been made to feel this way from family and so called friends. I try not to expect much from people.. past experience brutality taught me not to have expectations in most people around me but they didn't think I was worth their effort or their time.. yet they didn't understand that I ignorantly put them on a pedestal, just giving them respect that never really deserved.
I have left many family and friends behind because I was put through too much, I walked way permanently from many people I used to call friends because I was their doormat. One

thanks for being so brave in writing such a gut wrenching article. However, sometime, I think you should listen to both sides of your childhood story and talk to your dad. He too has demons and grew up in an abusive household. There is always two sides to every story and often the truth is somewhere in the middle. All I can tell you is that your father has never ever stopped loving his three girls and there is not a day that goes by that you and your sisters are not thought about and/or talked about and definitely loved. Unfortunately, you never heard that as a child. As well, your picture and that or your sisters is often viewed and admired in my household. It might be nice if you and your sisters started to make some contact with the other half of your genetic profile. We are not the monsters that we have been portrayed. You are thought about more often than you ever realize and if you ever want to talk I am here for you and am just an email away.
