Need Art Group back In my life 😭

JoBarkerLeave a comment

Since stupid COVID my art group closed ,and with that my social life and life as I knew it went back to how it was before art group.

At Art group every Tuesday it was the highlight of my week I got to socialize,meet people and have a laugh and banter I miss everyone so much.We had such good times ,I was so happy.

Over the COVID years to stay happy I keep my sad feelings bottled up that includes missing art group and missing my special friend who texts me alot …but we need to start meeting in person again😭💔.I try to stay positive and happy as that is how I’d rather be ad life’s too short.

But every now and again I need to cry and think about these things and last night I did that,I have always found making friends hard and also my love life has always been at 0 ,Nearing 40 it gets to me worse than ever I’ve missed out on so.

In this modern era with WOKE people it’s so much harder to make friends as people get offended by everything ,you’re constantly walking on egg shells because you can’t say anything.

I’m from old school as you have seen in my blogs , I believe freedom of speech , expressing and discussing options in an adult mature way Woke people don’t do this if they don’t like your opinion they call you names get nasty and mean…very childish.

I’m on the search for a new social group in case my much loved art group does not start up again, it’s a hard search ….but important as I need a decent social life and to enjoy life and have good times because we only get one chance at life.

Anyone who knows me ,knows my favorite band of all time is Status Quo .

As a child during 80s and 90s Ricky and Francis were always on tv ,loved there funny interviews,and music.

In 2010 I met Rick Parfitt he was crossing the road in Manchester , everything was a bit of a flash I was so overwhelmed and starstruck.got the photo on my wall of us.

2021 I finally got to meet Francis Rossi , I honestly was a bag of nerves and had adrenaline flowing , but he to me “it’s alright my lovley”

I gave him the gift of a art work of himself in the 80s , he signed one of my art works for me he said he remember the event and kept the jacket.

He also said that I’m beautiful , lovley and delicious ,the biggest complement a man has ever given me , so I’m extremely flattered by it.

At the end I said I
“It was a pleasure to meet you ,your in my favorite rock band thankyou”…..and I think I was bowing to him …don’t know why natural reaction to lead singer of fav rock band I guess haha!!!

So at the end of this I had to have a stiff drink which for a lady like me is a southern comfort and lemonade. That charmed my nerves .

So glad I finally got to meet the great Francis Rossi in person one of best quo days of my life ,it’s up there with meeting Rick and being front of Rick at the stage .
