Shug @shugshug.bsky.social · 01/10/2026One thing about not having a partner and living alone is that when you need a hug, there isn't anyone to give you one and make you a cup of tea and bring you a biscuit. Need one today. Ahh well I can make my own cuppa at least. 440

Shug @shugshug.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Question for the perimenopausal people: have you stopped day dreaming? I don't day dream or make up elaborate scenarios anymore. No more having conversations in my head with people I made up. My head feels empty. 310
