alleekat Posted January 29, 2017 Hello! I don't really know what to say...I've really only just begun my journey to healing myself in the past couple of months. It's been difficult, and I'm still trying to figure out what is going to help me. I felt like finding a place where I can finally let some of the secrets and trauma I've kept bottled up inside for so long out would be healthy, especially if it's among people who have been through similar experiences and are welcoming! I found this place and I'm feeling happy, but also extremely nervous...took me forever just to get up the courage to create this! So...yeah! Hello and I hope you're all having a very lovely night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

limbodante Posted January 29, 2017 The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first cliché, as they say in Chinatown. I don't really read the fortunes, I just can't get enough of those damn cookies. What was I saying? Hi! Welcome! Stuff. Mm, fortune cookies... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RinRuss Posted February 3, 2017 It's difficult facing people and letting out the details of your personal traumas, but everyone here wants nothing more than for you to be happy and comfortable. Anonymity helps, I know I've struggled with people knowing my past and I'm coming to realize anyone hearing my story would understand my pain and even feel pain for me. I imagine that would be the same for you. I don't know what you've been through but I know you deserve love and compassion, and we're all here to give that to you if you need it. Much love and inner peace to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian37 Posted February 13, 2017 Hi, Alleekat! Welcome! The most important trip we might ever take is the journey of finding our own self. That being said. There is perhaps some comfort in unity. I am new and rather nervous as well. Just please know that you are not alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
