Oh my, you dear, sweet friends have touched my heart. My eyes are brimming with tears of gratitude.

Having grown up with a sense of never fitting in, never belonging, and suffering bullying and abuse, i kept guarded especially since at that time it was better to keep quiet than endure the "fixes." Over time, I found my way, created my family and learned to trust.

This is a lovely safe haven of kindness and friendship. An escape at times. And so you bring out the best in me.

And you, too, are beautiful wordsmiths -- here and throughout our wiki, I read such eloquent words of support and compassion, as well as the most hilarious takes and insights. Perhaps this being a forum based on written communication, we are all sharpening our skills but many of you possess a naturally creative gift. And you all are articulate when you open your hearts to each other.

I learn from and am inspired by you every day. Thank you, thank you, thank you.🌹
