Hey Pandas, In Such A Crazy World, What Brings You Peace? (Closed)

talking to the friends in my head and cosplaying. I know I'm weird and I don't care

Drawing and painting

I love reading it calms me down a lot:
Land of Stories
Wings of Fire
Survivors
Bravelands
Warriors
and on and on and on:))))))

Holding my husband's hand as we lay in bed and talk about our day.
Also the 2 of us sneaking around and leaving small gifts at our Childress house...secretly.

Christmas

Camping on the beach, cool breeze in the air and the water is calm.

Reading the Harry Potter series over and over and over and over.

When people understand what I'm going through and actually support me and my beliefs. (unlike my parents who hate them.)

Nothing better in the winter than a hot bath with a cup of hot chocolate and a book. Then after the bath I curl up with a fire going, with the hot chocolate, a good scary book, warm blanket and socks, and a cat or two curled up sleeping on me or near me. I feel better when my kids are home asleep in the their rooms instead of at their dads. I like to have them near. Unfortunately my 23 year old daughter lives an hour and a half away and my 19 year old son and his baby live about an hour away. At least my two youngest are still with me. (They usually spend weekends at their dads).

Smelling the top of my seven year old son’s head.

My dog and faith that peace will come one day

My job at the Head start. I love my co workers. I love seeing all the little kids smiles every morning and say hello to me. I love their curiosity and silly stories. Even wearing masks and constantly sanitizing, for 5 hours a day i forget about politics and the pandemic, and just thrive to see my students learn about the world in a positive way, create little works of art and just laugh with me

I do volunteer work for an animal rescue organization. I'm also in a 12 Step program and I go to meetings and sponsor. I also do service work in some of the meetings. Also, YouTube, family, daily meditation, read email.

Listening to my favorite music, watching my favorite movies (I avoid apocalypse movies), read my favorite books (I don't have to avoid apocalypse books), and I draw.

Gaming... YouTube... Books... Drawing... etc...

A good song, under a clear night sky, with fresh, cool sea air.
Hot chocolate.
Disappearing.

I am admittedly, without being dramatic, completely maxed out. Nothing I ever do is enough to satisfy people, I just end up crying as a release. And even then, the response is “oh well”, or nothing at all. Even at 54, I’ve nothing more to give, I am looking for peace. And when I think I am getting close, the plate of crap shows up. Apologies. I just desperately needed to put this into the universe. I wish for all of you good health, great karma, and an excellent holiday season.

books, music, friends, youtube, movies, journaling, drawing, podcasts, dressing up for no reason in secret and dancing, chocolate, the beach, photography, nature trails.........

Music, always.

BOOOOOKS!!!!!!
Harry Potter
Hunger Games
The Mortal Instruments
Divergent
Percy Jackson (all Rick Riordan series)
The Fault in our Stars
Warriors
Bravelands
Survivors
Etc ( I could go on and on for hours)

Then of course memes and BP (mainly fandom memes)
