Anita: I appreciate you replying to me, it really helps to have someone hear me out and try to understand. Also for helping me feel less alone, I thank you 🙂

Jim: Wow, thank you for your story. It puts things in perspective for me and I appreciate you telling me all that. Its helpful that someone else feels the same way, about the “fakeness” of these apps. Also, you are totally correct about staying true to what I feel deep down, because it is not easy being someone your not. I have wanted to give in and get my snapchat back or try a dating app, but I know I need to trust my inner voice.

Meaow: Thank you for replying! Your advice means a lot to me and I will for sure try them. It reiterates the hope I have of being okay with feeling different.
