Apologies if this type of post is not allowed !

I honestly love this craft so much. I started this year, during a leave of absence from work for burnout/depression.

It allows me to shut my brain while feeling productive, and not spend my days bedrotting.

I picked up my project today after not touching it for a couple days and I felt instant mental relief.

I truly feel like I finally discovered my craft. I gifted a finished project for the first time last weekend to a family member and her reaction was so rewarding, my cheeks hurt from smiling so hard. And now, even though I'm still a beginner, my friends want me to teach them how to cross stitch.

It truly feels great to be so passionate about something and gain back motivation through my burnout/depression.

Thanks for listening to me 🫶🏼

J'ai un frigo en parfait état, idéalement je souhaiterais donner à un organisme.

Connaissez-vous des places qui le prendrait ?

Merci !

She's lived a great and long life. I want to be there when it happens, but it brings back memories of when I had to put to sleep my soul cat.

This is also the first time I deal with a planned euthanasia. The wait really hurts.

She lives with my mom and I've already said my "official" goodbye.

I'm just really sad.
