Alone in my Seaside Cottage - why I don’t feel lonely - anymore

  • Hello Everyone,
    This week was full of some challenges - I went to a basket weaving workshop and created my first ever wee berry basket!
    I also was alone in our seaside Cottage as my husband travelled with work.
    When alone I do not feel lonely though as it helps me to re-energise.
    The wee woodland I found wild garlic in is one of the sanctuaries I enjoy.

    I have PTSD and I understand about loud noises. For me it is especially people shouting at each other. At 81 I no longer have the option to live in the country. But I was very careful to find me a little apartment what's a fabulous of you of the mountains and a patio big enough to sit on in my rocking chair and also to have a small table and chairs where I can eat outside. I am no longer able to have a lot of flowers on my patio like I used to, but my inside of my home is filled with live plants. Which are a blessing to me I also do not have the television or seldom do I have music playing as I like the quiet. Blessings and love from New Mexico

    So proud of you for choosing to attend your basket making class! Twofold benefit: lovely handmade basket and entering a new inside environment! ❤Everyone knows Fairies’ magic is most powerful outside in the woods & meadows! (And by the seaside!) Lovely 🥰 video as always; I have a small smile 😊 on my face as I watch each week. My week was a bit unusual as I was scheduled for a 30 minute interview which lasted 2 hours! While it’s only a part-time job, as I am retired, my hope is it offers more life balance! Our daffodils are open and dancing in the wind! I have started working in my wee garden! The hummingbirds should arrive soon (I think of them as tiny fairies with feathers! Until next week, I wish our entire community kindness & peace 🕊️

    Loved this weeks message dear Kerstin. I relate to your words. I'm in my late fourties and I live alone and I enjoy it. I need alone time to recharge. When I'm with the right people for which I'm so grateful, I need less alone time, but still I need it. Being surrounded by the wrong people is a source of pain and drains me. Being alone strenghtens me. I'm glad your on a good way in your recovery and live on your terms surrounded by nature. We should all live like we want. Everybody has different needs, it's fine. When I was young I thought something is wrong with me, I'm sensitive to a few things, but now I accept it, not always easy to live with it, but I manage on my terms. I'm heading to Greece next weekend and will catch up with your video as soon as I can, because I enjoy your channel 😊. Stay safe ❤

    New subscriber. Your videos and voice are so calming. Thank you.....We have a bit in common. I too am quiet, shy, don't like crowds and am highly sensitive. I didn't realize this when I was younger, am 54 now. I thought something was wrong and I needed to change. I can do hard things, have lived around the world and back, married 35 years and have 3 grown son and two grands. I just finally learned, who I am and what I want from the time I have left; and noise and crowds are not one of them anymore. We live on a farm in TX, middle of nowhere with animals. I love it. Thanks again and nice to know you. I am part Scottish, Norwegian and English but was born and raised in TX. I guess that is probably most Americans though. We are a melting pot.

    I'm the same. In my 20s I loved living in the city, going to parties and being busy. In my 30s, especially during the pandemic I realised that I'm a high sensitive person. Most people cost me energy, I don't like small talk and it's almost impossible for me to meet people that I can find a connection with. I can't stand the city life anymore with all the noise and all the crowded places and I can't wait to move to the country side this year.

    LOVE how your basket turned out! I made one many moons ago. I have no idea where it is now!
    I understand the social anxiety and the husband being away. I suffered from Agoraphobia for a while due to my breakdown. It's a very slow process but I did it. I can now go out but I still do not like crowds or to be honest, just simply bring around people. It's funny......I enjoy my solitude but yet the loneliness gets me sometimes.
    I used to have a network of people who I would call when my husband was gone. It was also embarrassing. But it's what I had to do. I've not had a panic attack in 3-4 years and I hope and pray they stay away. ( mine was also hormone related...too much estrogen )
    It's hard being empathetic.
    Joy is something I'm still working on. ❤
    You are rural and seaside. I'm rural and Mountain. 😊
    What a neat garlic dish!
    Thanks again for a wonderful video. I so much enjoy them and look forward to meeting you each week. You're like meeting an old friend.❤❤❤

      I am glad that you established a help system when you needed it! Being alone is my preference but when you are unwell it is certainly different, especially with regards to those you love.
      I also love the mountains (the Scottish Highlands are breathtaking). So the perfect place would be the mountains at the seaside 🙂
      Thank you for your kind and lovely message.

    Happy Friday my friend. I am so proud of you for attending the basket weaving class. Your basket is beautiful and I hope when you look at it, it reminds you of the strength within you to go out of your comfort zone and that by doing so, you’ll be ok. It’s been a very tough week for me and I can’t shake the feeling of being “lost.” I know I’m still grieving (I’ve lost both parents to cancer and my best friend to sepsis in the last 18 months) and I just don’t know what my “purpose” is for. My heart aches to return to Whithorn (near Stranraer) but alas it isn’t possible at this time. Thank you for sharing this lovely video. I very much appreciate seeing “home” Scotland when I can’t be there in person. I hope you have a lovely weekend. Much love to you. xxxxx

    You're an intelligent and empathetic creator. So why not acknowledge that being "alone" because hubby is gone for a few days is a state of gratitude for your partnered life? Because many are truly alone in this world, not just for a few days. You hardly have the chance to be "lonely."

    WOW. I thought I would never find some one who has the same physical symptoms as I do. I am not lonely though. Empathy, sensitive to noises and sounds and I shake are some of my symptoms. I have been through a lot also. A lot of trauma. I desired to live a simplier life which included not having so many material things. My daughter and I went running for our lives out of the Dallas, Tx area. Way too much going on and people who were just crazy. We love nature but have not had the opportunity to get into it yet. We moved into a mountain area in Virginia. The town is not that good, drugs and very very crazy drivers. I do not drive any more. I am homebound with some health problems and she works now. She too is also a lot like me. You are a beautiful woman and I thank you for sharing your journey. I will continue to follow you. ❤ Have a great week.
