Dear Shandrea:

“I like Honesty… an honest friend with good intentions… I strongly dislike bullying of any kind and manipulation, also I don’t know what to call it when people tolerate people because they are afraid to be alone I don’t want that either“- this is who you are: a strong woman who stands for Honesty, Good Intentions, and Courage (not being afraid to be alone), and against Bullying, Manipulation, and Accepting Abuse (for fear of being alone).

“Without even noticing it I joined the forums to connect, share, and maybe in the future help and inspire“- you have been inspiring me for a long time, Shandrea!

“I’ve been living in survival mode/auto pilot for so long. Everything is so rushed and not enjoyable. What attracted me to this website was the post from real people and the challenges they over came. It gave me hope for my future“- I am glad you are here, and I hope that the survival mode changes to more of a living- enjoying mode.

“Since I’m here to connect , Did you finally get a full night of sleep?“- well, last night I did not lie awake, not for hours, not even for a moment. When I woke up, I felt that I slept enough and that it was probably 7 am or so. But it was 4 am. So, good to sleep through but woke up too early.
