    Kept it in, it wasent the time or the place.

    They played Jonny Cash 'Hurt' WAS very hard to keep control at that point.

    hurt myself today
    To see if I still feel
    I focus on the pain
    The only thing that's real
    The needle tears a hole
    The old familiar sting
    Try to kill it all away
    But I remember everything
    What have I become
    My sweetest friend
    Everyone I know
    Goes away in the end

    And you could have it all
    My empire of dirt
    I will let you down
    I will make you hurt

    I wear this crown of thorns
    Upon my liars chair
    Full of broken thoughts
    I cannot repair
    Beneath the stains of time
    The feelings disappear

    You are someone else
    I am still right here
    What have…

    The Johnny Cash song would have been enough for me to let any emotions I had just tumble out. It’s always the songs that get me. Got to admit I’ve never heard that song before.
    Try to have a chilled evening doing something that relaxes you a bit.
    January spends - £587.58
  • Sorry about your Mum's cat Beanie and the memorial service you had to go to :(. Sad things often come together, but happy things are often not far behind as a consolation.

    I always wear black to funerals or memorial services unless I'm specifically told not to, but I must be a bit old fashioned :o.

    *Hugs* to you and your mum over losing her cat. :( My mum had to have her cat PTS very suddenly last week and he was only 8 so it was a big shock. It's hard to lose them. :(

    Hope you can get a good sleep tonight.

    Love and hugs Beanie

    Sounds as if you were really strong today for everyone else, be kind to yourself in the next 24hrs xx
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It
