Thank you both for your insight and commitment to share what you have learned throughout your journeys. I am very thankful to have found this community of great people from all around the world all walks of life and yet we all come here to not be judged by our past, to feel a connection with like minded individuals, acceptance, and an outlet that seems to be the most valuable tool for me. I don’t live near any of my immediate family or have many friends that I can talk to and deflate when I’m feeling that just a little compassion and affirmation that im doing the best I can and everything will be ok. So I really cherish the opportunity to reach out and even if no one responds I will not be offended, I’d still be thankful for being able to vent or even help someone else along.
