Request for a new forum

[mercunis]

Hi 11:11,

i'd like to request for a new forum section which is toward expressing negativity, moving up the emotional scale thus. by being separate those who are not in such a space at the moment can avoid it altogether while those who feel pulled to it might see some of their own pain, issues reflected which will help.

"Let it flow" is my suggestion for the name

cheers

I'm with you Mercunis, I was about to ask the same thing! I think loads of us here are having a hard time and why should we fake smiles all the way through? it is OKAY to feel less than great! it is okay to feel completely lost, defeated!

I understand if you don't like calling it A CLUB, Mercunis, I agree it doesn't have to be something we build an identity on... we don't wanna call ourselves losers or become victims, but it could be a place for us who are clearly not able to fake joy anymore, at least for a moment of the day, for us come and say what's really inside, be it anger, sadness, feeling of hopelessness... I think this forum is our home and we should be able to be naked in our own home, right?

We could call it the ''It Is Okay to feel less than Great'' thread... or something like that... a forum where ranting is allowed and, like Skibby said, a place where you know you're not the only one, you're not alone, it happens to other people too, and you can find comfort, even when it's not the JOYFUL pat on the back of being told ''congratulations! way to go!'' kinda of comfort but you know... a place where we can be real... and we can release some tension... without being afraid of looking bad in front of all the happy people who live in the wonderful world...

anybody?

I mean... personally, I would like it to be a place where all of us people who don't know what the fuck to do with our lives can just... let go... like a soft comfy matress... just to rest for a while, not to stay there and become attached to the concept of being defeated or anything... just... like a rest room... :p

no?

But is there such a thing as negativity?
I say, "no" such a thing does not exist.

It is my assertion that all things are gifts to each of us.
Thus all things are blessing you/them/each...

Yup, just like negative thoughts and feelings are good. They are like road signs, and road signs aren't bad. They help us get somewhere.

There was this documentary on tv.Women in this one poor village are put in a tiny house when they have their period,cuz they are considered unpure.
Do we do this with our PMS-ing abetalkers too?

[Bodhi]

I agree with you Pina. These things could be in Everything spiritual, but then, does it really matter? The Let it flow section was created because somebody wanted to feel good. But then again, it does feel a little sitgamtized. lol Frankly, I don't care. I am responding to threads that feel good to me, whether they are here or there or anywhere. Everything that happens is good. So, if it has happened, than it must be good. :heart:

I like what you say tiny Tasha..Now that it is here,I can play with it.
But I actually liked it when I put my rants wherever I wanted.And of course,I put a warning in the title,so people wouldn't be shocked lol.

[Bodhi]

Hmmm.. it does feel like we have two Everything spiritual sections, doesn't it.

Let's see how it goes. Maybe we could use another sticky:

- The rules of posting on Abetalk: LET IT FLOW, HAVE FUN BEING YOURSELF

:joylick:

You can still put 'em anywhere Pina. I would - just for the fun of it!!

Actually we discussed making a "lower-vibe" forum like last year, but then I thought it was decided that all emotions & expressions were valid.

:orly:

[Pina Colada]

that all emotions & expressions were valid.
Yes,indeed.:heart:

[Rodney]

I just wanted a forum where I could move all of Key's conspiracy theory posts.

I like Key.:shock:

He starts good discussions. They're never with him, but they're good discussions nonetheless.
