Good Morning Claire @outlander
You are right, I'm not entirely ok . . . I never am - but I'm alright; if that makes sense. I often feel like I'm lying to you when I say 'things will get better', in some cases I don't think it ever does - but it changes, everything changes. The longer you survive the more chance you have of tailoring your life experiences to your own preferences. I choose loneliness, I choose a flat-line life - it's the best of a bad bunch for me. I'm not real big on the forgiving and forgetting . . . and that includes me. I prefer to look at it as learning. I have never had a successful relationship of any kind, I could blame everyone else, but the only constant factor in all that . . . . is me. We, this planet and all it's life forms, are just a speck of stardust in the Universe - it is often how I proportionalize my own problems . . . they are nothing.
I don't know how much longer I can go on like this - but I have learnt that I can survive over half a century, I have learnt that I meant it when I said 'I will not give up'
Never give up Claire Everything changes 🙂

@outlanderhold you head up high and ignore them. They are not worth it sis. Their opinion of you is not important. Remember SW you can do this.

Hi @outlander
You are just so much better than those people
You have a right to your work place - and you are stronger than you think - so yes
Take an extra deep breath and exhale slowly and walk in and do your work
Work is honest - it's honourable - worthwhile - whatever it is
So remember this - you have a right to be here - you have a right to the space you have and you have the right to work
Please don't let these shallow, mindless creeps take over your life -
I can promise you they have not been in a pile of damp tissues because of what they said - they probably don't even remember
So go Outlander - do what you are paid for and do it will
And all the best
